Abstract :
The method of infrared microwave sideband laser spectroscopy developed by G. Magerl, et al. (ibid, vol.18, p.1214-20, 1982) for application in the 9-11-μm region with a CO2 laser has been extended to application in the 5-6-μm region with a CO laser. The experimental details, performance of the system, and typical spectra are described. Frequency measurements of spectra in the 0111←0000 band of 14N2 16O and the 200←0000 band of 16O12C32S are compared to the results of previous precise measurements by heterodyne techniques to show that the accuracy is limited mainly by the resettability of the CO laser frequency
