We investigated collisional processes involved in the population of the
Rb2 diffuse band through resonant excitation of Rb atoms. Near-infrared
(780 nm) and violet (420 nm) diode lasers were used for the Rb first
(
) and second
(
) resonant doublet excitations. Laser induced fluorescence
spectra were detected and investigated at different rubidium densities,
buffer gas pressures and excitation wavelengths.
