Far-Infrared Laser Line Assignments for Isotopic Carbon-13 Difluoromethane
摘要
The strong far-infrared (FIR) difluoromethane 12CH2F2 laser was discovered over 45 years ago. This paper focuses on the isotopic carbon-13 difluoromethane (13CH2F2) molecule, which was identified as having a good overlap with the 12CO2 laser pump bands. Prior research has resulted in the generation of over 100 laser lines, many of which have had their frequencies precisely measured. This paper extends the work previously performed on assigning these laser lines, as well as determining the molecular constants for the v = 1 excited state of the ν9 and ν3 vibrational bands. This work, when combined with prior investigations, has enabled the assignment of almost all known 13CH2F2 FIR laser lines. This includes tentative assignments for predicted laser lines or for those not having a measured frequency along with new values for the A, B, and C rotational constants and band-center frequencies for the ν9 and ν3 modes.
