Laser spectroscopy is a very precise tool in determining atomic structure data. However, in the case of complex spectra, when the individual components of the spectra cannot be separated, precise analysis is hindered by the appearing saturation effect. Sometimes this effect is so large that the spectrum simulation does not provide precise results. In the present work, we present the analysis of the Zeeman spectra of seven praseodymium lines in the range of 566–652 nm, which were recorded using the LIF technique in the presence of the saturation effect. To analyze these spectra, we used a specially dedicated computer program, which allowed for very accurate matching of the simulated spectrum to the recorded experimental shape. As a result of the conducted research, we determined 14 Lande factor values, 3 of which are new.
