title: Investigation of C-O Stretching Band of CD3OH: Assignments of Far-Infrared Laser Lines
abstract: We have investigated the high-resolution Fourier transform spectrum of the C-O stretching fundamental band of CD3OH in order to assign far-infrared (FIR) laser transitions. The absorption spectrum was analyzed by means of the "Ritz" program, which calculates the energy level values directly from the Rydberg-Ritz combination principle. We have also used the "LaseRitz" program to facilitate the assignment of the FIR laser lines. As a consequence we could determine 12 new assignments, confirming 4 previously proposed ones and predicting new FIR laser emissions. Copyright 1997 Academic Press. Copyright 1997Academic Press
