Abstract Microwave transitions between the Zeeman split doublet states 22 P 1/2 and 22 P 3/2 of7Li have been measured using the optical double resonance method. The fine structure separation was determined to bev fs=10.053.184(58) MHz. The hyperfine structure was well resolved and led to considerably improved precision of the diagonal coupling constantsa 1/2=45.914(25) MHz,a 3/2=−3.055(14) MHz,b=−0.221(29) MHz. Furthermore, the contact, spin dipolar and orbital magnetic hyperfine constants are evaluated using additional results from level crossing experiments, which are more sensitive on the non-diagonal magnetic hyperfine constanta 3/2,1/2. The results are in good agreement with recent theoretical calculations. The nuclear quadrupole moment is derived fromb to beQ(7Li)=−41(6) mbarn.
