Vibrationally excited ({ital v}{double prime}=0--9) yet rotationally cold ({lt}100K) NO has been produced by electrically discharging N{sub 2}O in a pulsed molecular beam. The MPI spectrum of this sample has been recorded from 420 to 460nm and 212 to 225nm. Numerous new bands have been observed in this region and assigned as A{l arrow}X and C{l arrow}X transitions originating from vibrationally excited NO. In particular the 420 to 460nm region is dominated by C{l arrow}X hot band transitions which produced NO{sup +} in a (2+1) ionization scheme. Comparison of spectra of (1+1) ionization through the A state with computer simulations show the one-proton resonance transition to be nearly saturated.
