Spectroscopy and Intensity Measurements of the 3nu(1)+3nu(3) Tetrad of (12)CO(2) and (13)CO(2)

Three of the four components of the 3nu(1)+3nu(3) tetrad of (12)C(16)O(2) and (13)C(16)O(2), labeled 30031, 30032, and 30033 in HITRAN notation, have been observed by intracavity laser absorption spectroscopy in the 10 450- to 11 000-cm(-1) region. The rotational analysis has yielded the rovibrational parameters of the vibrational states. The experimental values are found to be in very good agreement with the rovibrational energies recently predicted from variational calculations and reduced effective Hamiltonians. The absolute band intensity of these extremely weak transitions have been measured. The study of the relative intensities within the 3nu(1)+3nu(3) tetrad suggests that part of the oscillator strength is carried by the (22(0)3) state. Copyright 2001 Academic Press.     

The nu(2), nu(4) + nu(5), nu(6) + nu(9), and nu(8) Band System in 1,1,1-Trifluoroethane

High-resolution FTIR spectra of 1,1,1-trifluoroethane (HFC-143a) have been recorded in the region from 1370 to 1470 cm(-1) with an unapodized resolution of 0.0016 cm(-1) at room temperature and of 0.004 cm(-1) at 183 and 100 K. The two main infrared active bands of A(1) symmetry have been shown to be nu(2) at 1407.5 cm(-1) and nu(4) + nu(5) at 1440.5 cm(-1). With the aid of Raman spectra, the two infrared inactive bands of E symmetry in this spectra region have been shown to be nu(8) at 1457.5 cm(-1) and nu(6) + nu(9) at 1446.2 cm(-1). The nu(2) band was analyzed as an isolated band, whereas the nu(4) + nu(5) band was analyzed as part of the triad nu(4) + nu(5), nu(6) + nu(9), and nu(8). Copyright 2000 Academic Press.     

High-resolution FTIR spectroscopy of the Coriolis interacting nu3 and nu9 fundamentals of methylene fluoride-d2

The Fourier transform infrared spectrum of the υ ₃ and υ ₉ bands of methylene fluoride-d ₂ (CD₂F₂) has been recorded with an unapodized resolution of 0.0024cm^-1 in the frequency range 970-1080cm^-1. These two bands with band centres approximately 26 cm^-1 apart were mutually coupled by Coriolis interactions. By fitting a total of 1639 infrared transitions of both υ ₃ and υ ₉ with a standard deviation of 0.00084cm^-1 S/S using a Watson's A-reduced Hamiltonian in the I ^r representation with the inclusion of a first order c-type Coriolis resonance term, two sets of rovibrational constants for υ ₃ = 1 and υ ₉ = 1 states were derived. The υ ₃ band is B-type while the υ9 band is A-type with band centres at 1030.1573 ± 0.0003 and 1003.7435 ± 0.0001cm^-1, respectively.

The Coriolis Interaction between the nu(9) and nu(7) Fundamental Bands of Methylene Fluoride

The infrared spectrum of the nu(12) fundamental band of ethylene (C(2)H(4)) has been measured with an unapodized resolution of 0.004 cm(-1) in the frequency range of 1380-1500 cm(-1) using the Fourier transform technique. By assigning and fitting a total of 1387 infrared transitions using a Watson's A-reduced Hamiltonian in the I(r) representation, rovibrational constants for the upper state (v(12) = 1) up to five quartic and three sextic centrifugal distortions terms were derived. They represent the most accurate constants for the band so far. The rms deviation of the fit was 0.00033 cm(-1). The A-type nu(12) band with a band center at 1442.44299 +/- 0.00003 cm(-1) was found to be relatively free from local frequency perturbations. The inertial defect Delta(12) was found to be 0.24201 +/- 0.00002 u ?(2). Copyright 2000 Academic Press.     

Measurements of F2 and xF(nu)(3) - xF(nu;)(3) from CCFR nu(mu)-Fe and nu;(mu)-Fe Data in a Physics Model-Independent Way

We report on the extraction of the structure functions F2 and DeltaxF(3) = xF(nu)(3)-xF(nu;)(3) from CCFR nu(mu)-Fe and nu;(mu)-Fe differential cross sections. The extraction is performed in a physics model-independent (PMI) way. This first measurement of DeltaxF(3), which is useful in testing models of heavy charm production, is higher than current theoretical predictions. The ratio of the F2 (PMI) values measured in nu(mu) and mu scattering is in agreement (within 5%) with the predictions of next-to-leading-order parton distribution functions using massive charm production schemes, thus resolving the long-standing discrepancy between the two sets of data.     

Low-Temperature Radiometric Measurements Using a Silver Halide Optical Fiber and Infrared Optical Devices

In this study, we measured an infrared radiation which is transferred by a silver halide optical fiber from a heat source using a radiometer system for low-temperature measurements. To increase the amount of infrared radiation through the silver halide optical fiber and to the pyroelectric sensor, infrared optical devices used were an infrared focusing lens and a collimator. The relationship between the temperatures of a heat source and the measured radiometer signals were determined. The measurable temperature range of a fiber-optic temperature sensor using a pyroelectric sensor was from 298 to 333 K. It is expected that a noncontact low-temperature sensor using an infrared optical fiber can be developed for medical and industrial usages based on the results of this study.     

Methods of Wavebeam Phase Front Reconstruction Using Intensity Measurements

Two methods for phase front reconstruction of paraxial linear polarized wavebeams are presented. Both of them are based on wavebeam field intensity measurements. The first method requires a reference wavebeam with known characteristics. The second one allows phase reconstruction using only wavebeam intensity measurements in a few cross sections. The methods described are successfully applied in the millimeter range for wavebeam diagnostics in mode converters, transmission lines and antenna elements. Since the methods are based on general principles they may be used not only for microwaves investigation.     

Absolute Line Intensities for the nu6 Band of H2O2

The purpose of this work was to obtain reliable absolute intensities for the nu6 band of H2O2. It was undertaken because strong discrepancies exist between the different nu6 band intensities which are presently available in the literature (A. Perrin, A. Valentin, J.-M. Flaud, C. Camy-Peyret, L. Schriver, A. Schriver, and P. Arcas, J. Mol. Spectrosc. 1995. 171, 358), (R. May, J. Quant. Radiat. Transfer 1991. 45, 267), and (R. L. Sams, personal communication). The method which was chosen in the present work was to measure simultaneously the far-infrared absorptions and the nu6 absorptions of H2O2. Consequently, Fourier transform spectra of H2O2 were recorded at Giessen in a spectral range (370-1270 cm-1) which covers both the R branch of the torsion-rotation band and the P branch of the nu6 band which appear at low and high wavenumbers, respectively. From the low wavenumber data, the partial pressure of H2O2 present in the cell during the recording of the spectra was determined by calibrating the observed absorptions in the torsion-rotation band with intensities computed using the permanent H2O2 dipole moment measured by Stark effect (A. Perrin, J.-M. Flaud, C. Camy-Peyret, R. Schermaul, M. Winnewisser, J.-Y. Mandin, V. Dana, M. Badaoui, and J. Koput, J. Mol. Spectrosc. 1996. 176, 287-296) and [E. A. Cohen and H. M. Pickett, J. Mol. Spectrosc. 1981. 87, 582-583). In the high frequency range, this value of the partial pressure of H2O2 was used to measure absolute line intensities in the nu6 band. Finally, the line intensities in the nu6 band were fitted using the theoretical methods described in detail in our previous works. Using these new results on line intensities together with the line position parameters that we obtained previously, a new synthetic spectra of the nu6 band was generated, leading to a total band intensity of 0.185 x 10(-16) cm-1/(molecule.cm-2) at 296 K. It has to be pointed out that the new line intensities agree to within the experimental uncertainties with the individual line intensity measurements performed previously by May and by Sams.

Absolute nu(2) Line Intensities of HOCl by Simultaneous Measurements in the Infrared with a Tunable Diode Laser and Far-Infrared Region Using a Fourier Transform Spectrometer

We have measured absolute line intensities in the nu(2) fundamental band at 1238 cm(-1) of both isotopomers of hypochlorous acid, HOCl. To obtain the partial pressure of the species in the sample mixture, unavailable through direct measurement since HOCl exists only in equilibrium with H(2)O and Cl(2)O and may decay by secondary reactions, we relied on known absolute line intensities in the pure rotational far-infrared (FIR) spectrum determined from Stark effect measurements. We have thus recorded simultaneously the FIR pure rotation spectrum of HOCl using a Bruker IFS120HR interferometer and the spectrum of a few vibration-rotation lines in the infrared (IR) nu(2) band using a tunable diode laser spectrometer. The absolute intensities of these IR lines thus determined allowed us to "calibrate" the intensities of vibration-rotation lines in the whole nu(2) band, measured previously using Fourier transform spectroscopy. The treatment of the data took into account the blackbody emission contribution in the FIR and the evolution of the HOCl amount during the recording of the spectra. The latter was found to be almost constant over hours after conditioning of the cell. The square of the nu(2) band vibrational transition dipole moment was determined to be 0.013947(23) D(2) and 0.013870(51) D(2) for HO(35)Cl and HO(37)Cl, respectively, that is, 29 to 73% lower than previous measurements. A linear Herman-Wallis factor was also determined for both isotopomers. Finally, the line intensities were least-squares fitted using a model that takes into account a weak resonance between the (010) and (002) levels. Copyright 2000 Academic Press.     

Water Vapor Measurements between 590 and 2582 cm: Line Positions and Strengths

This study involves measurements of H₂¹⁶O, H₂¹⁷O, and H₂¹⁸O vapor spectra for the region between 590 and 2582 cm⁻¹. The parameters derived from the data include line positions, energy levels, and linestrengths. The study involves high-resolution line-position measurements with samples at room temperature in the (000)–(000), (010)–(010), and (010)–(000) bands. The experimental frequencies were used along with microwave, far-infrared, and hot water emission measurements in an analysis to obtain high-accuracy rotational energy level values in the (000), and (010) vibrational states of H₂¹⁶O forJ≤ 20. The experimental linestrengths were fitted by least squares to a model in which the dipole moment was represented as a series expansion containing up to 19 dipole moment matrix elements. The measurements in this work were more extensive than reported in prior studies by this author for the (010)–(000) band.     

Compensated Polarization Scrambler for Raman Depolarization and Intensity Measurements on Microsamples

It has long been recognized ^1,2,3,4,5 in measuring relative intensities and depolarization ratios of Raman lines that prism and grating spectrometers have different transmittances for light polarized parallel (T_∥) and perpendicular (T_⊥) to the slit. Several methods have been used to give equal instrument response to parallel and perpendicular polarization. Stitt and Yost³ used a Nicol prism parallel to the high-transmittance direction of the spectrometer, combined with a rotatable mica half-wave plate to transmit either vector to the Nicol prism. This method has the advantage of having a higher spectrometer transmittance, but the mica plate gives exact half-wave retardation at only a single wavelength. A mica quarter-wave plate ^4,5 averages the transmittances of the spectrometer for the two polarization directions, but is also wavelength dependent. Virtually achromatic circular polarizers have been designed and constructed ^6,7, but these devices are too bulky and expensive for the clear apertures needed for fast spectrometers.     

Influence of Microfields on Coherent Optics Measurements of Electric Field Intensity

The influence of random microfields on measurements of external regular electric field by coherent nonlinear optics is analyzed. At an electron concentration <10¹⁴cm^?3, the influence of microfields may be neglected. Possible separation of inputs from these microfields into the resulting signal is discussed.     

Absolute Intensities Measurements in the nu(4) + nu(5) Band of (12)C(2)H(2): Analysis of Herman-Wallis Effects and Forbidden Transitions

We measured absolute line intensities in two bands of (12)C(2)H(2) near 7.5 μm, namely the nu(4) + nu(5)(Sigma(+)(u))-0(Sigma(+)(g)) and nu(4) + nu(5)(Delta(u))-0(Sigma(+)(g)) bands, using Fourier transform spectroscopy with an accuracy estimated to be better than 2%. Using theoretical predictions from Watson [J. K. G. Watson, J. Mol. Spectrosc. 188, 78 (1998)], the observation of the forbidden nu(4) + nu(5)(Delta(u))-0(Sigma(+)(g)) band and the Herman-Wallis behavior exhibited by its rotational lines were studied quantitatively in terms of two types of interactions affecting the levels involved by the band: l-type resonance and Coriolis interaction. In the case of the nu(4) + nu(5)(Sigma(+)(u))-0(Sigma(+)(g)) band, the influence of l-type resonance is also confirmed. We also attributed the intensity asymmetry observed between the R and P branches of that latter band to a Coriolis interaction with l = 1 levels. We did not observe the nu(4) + nu(5)(Sigma(-)(u))-0(Sigma(+)(g)) band, consisting only of a Q branch, in agreement with Watson's prediction. Copyright 2000 Academic Press.     

High-Resolution Infrared Spectrum of the Ring-Puckering Band, nu(10), of Diborane

The spectrum of the nu(10) band of diborane, arising from the ring-puckering vibration, has been obtained with a spectral resolution of 0.0015 cm(-1) in the region 275-400 cm(-1). The spectrum of a sample enriched in (10)B was recorded as well as one with naturally abundant boron, i.e., 64% (11)B(2)H(6), 32% (10)B(11)BH(6), and 4% (10)B(2)H(6). This mode is the lowest vibrational level of the molecule and is unperturbed, allowing a complete assignment of not only the fundamental bands but also the 2nu(10)-nu(10) hot bands of all three boron isotopomers. The intensities of several hundred lines of the fundamental and hot bands of all isotopomers have been measured and vibrational transition moments have been obtained. Finally, it has been shown that the harmonic approximation does not apply for nu(10). Copyright 2000 Academic Press.
