Abstract :
A number of far-infrared laser emission lines from CH3OH, pumped by a CO2laser, have been assigned to specific energy levels of the rotation-internal rotation spectrum in the first excited CO stretch state. The assignments are based on comparison with the established model for the vibrational ground state, and on criteria concerning internal consistency, polarization, and line strength.
