Using ultrahigh-resolution 1 XUV+1 UV two-photon ionization laser spectroscopy, the F Πu3 ←X Σg+1 (0,0) transition of N2 has been optically observed for the first time, and the 3s σg F Πu3 (v=0) Rydberg level fully characterized with rotational resolution. The experimental spectroscopic parameters and predissociation level widths suggest strong interactions between the F state and the 3p π u G Πu3 Rydberg and C′ Πu3 valence states, analogous to those well known in the case of the isoconfigurational Πu1 states
