Highly excited vibrational levels of H (Formula presented.) are prepared via two-photon UV-photolysis of H (Formula presented.) S. Subsequent two-photon Doppler-free precision measurements are performed connecting (Formula presented.) levels with (Formula presented.) outer-well levels. Detection and spectroscopic labelling of the quantum states is assisted by further laser excitation into the auto-ionisation continuum employing a third UV-laser. Level energies of high rotational states ((Formula presented.)) in the outer-well state (Formula presented.) are accurately determined. The three-laser study demonstrates a method for probing resonances in the H (Formula presented.) ionisation continuum with wave-function density at large internuclear separation (Formula presented.) 4–5 a.u., large angular momenta J, and energy range 131,100–133,000 cm-1, a hitherto unexplored territory. © 2019, © 2019 The Author(s).
