Frequency Measurement of Pure Rotational Transitions of H217O and H218O from 0.5 to 5 THz.
Frequencies of pure rotational transitions of isotopic species of water, H217O, and H218O were measured in the 1-5 THz region with a high-precision far-infrared spectrometer using a tunable radiation source. Measured frequencies of more than 100 spectral lines for each species provide an excellent frequency standard for the far-infrared region. Molecular parameters based on a Watson-type Hamiltonian have been obtained to reproduce the observed frequencies. Copyright 1999 Academic Press.
