Lambda-Splittings and Line Intensities in the 3 <-- 1 Hot Band of 14N16O: The Spectrum of Nitric Oxide in the First Overtone Region

Intensities and Lambda-splittings have been measured for lines belonging to the 3 <-- 1 hot band of 14N16O. The vibrational transition moment and the Herman-Wallis coefficient have been determined. Hamiltonian constants have been calculated for the four vibrational states v = 0, 1, 2, and 3, and a synthetic spectrum has been generated in the first overtone region of NO, taking into account the hyperfine structure for the 2 <-- 0 band.

Lambda-Splittings and Line Intensities in the First Overtone of Nitric Oxide

Using Fourier transform spectra, absolute line parameters (positions, Lambda splittings, and intensities) have been measured in the two allowed subbands 2Pi1/2-2Pi1/2 and 2Pi3/2-2Pi3/2 of the 2 <-- 0 vibrational band of the 14N16O molecule. These line parameters have been compared with previous experimental results and with the values available in the current HITRAN database. The measured line intensities led to the determination of the transition dipole moment as well as the Herman-Wallis coefficients. Improved spectroscopic constants were also obtained for the v = 2 vibrational state. Copyright 1997 Academic Press. Copyright 1997Academic Press

Line Positions and Intensities of the nu1 + nu2 + 3nu3, nu2 + 4nu3, and 3nu1 + 2nu2 Bands of Ozone

Using a Fourier transform spectrometer, we have recorded the spectra of ozone in the region of 4600 cm-1, with a resolution of 0.008 cm-1. The strongest absorption in this region is due to the nu1 + nu2 + 3nu3 band which is in Coriolis interaction with the nu2 + 4nu3 band. We have been able to assign more than 1700 transitions for these two bands. To correctly reproduce the calculation of energy levels, it has been necessary to introduce the (320) state which strongly perturbs the (113) and (014) states through Coriolis- and Fermi-type resonances. Seventy transitions of the 3nu1 + 2nu2 band have also been observed. The final fit on 926 energy levels with Jmax = 50 and Kmax = 16 gives rms = 3.1 x 10(-3) cm-1 and provides a satisfactory agreement of calculated and observed upper levels for most of the transitions. The following values for band centers are derived: nu0(nu1 + nu2 + 3nu3) = 4658.950 cm-1, nu0(3nu1 + 2nu2) = 4643.821 cm-1, and nu0(nu2 + 4nu3) = 4632.888 cm-1. Line intensities have been measured and fitted, leading to the determination of transition moment parameters for the two bands nu1 + nu2 + 3nu3 and nu2 + 4nu3. Using these parameters we have obtained the following estimations for the integrated band intensities, SV(nu1 + nu2 + 3nu3) = 8.84 x 10(-22), SV(nu2 + 4nu3) = 1.70 x 10(-22), and SV(3nu1 + 2nu2) = 0.49 x 10(-22) cm-1/molecule cm-2 at 296 K, which correspond to a cutoff of 10(-26) cm-1/molecule cm-2.
