Abstract

Thirty-four rovibronic spectral lines of the Ω=1/2 component of the (4, 8) band in the A–X system of ³⁵Cl₂⁺ were observed in the range of 16,940–17,010 cm⁻¹, employing optical heterodyne-enhanced velocity modulation spectroscopy. Nonlinear least-squares fitting the effective Hamiltonians results in precise band origin and other molecular constants of the levels involved.

Studies on the Q-branch spectral lines of high-lying rovibrational transitions of diatomic system
2012, Spectrochimica Acta - Part A: Molecular and Biomolecular Spectroscopy
Citation Excerpt :
Molecular transition lines and rovibrational spectra of many molecular systems had been studied using many experimental technologies ranging from the Fourier transform spectrometer (FTS) [5–7] to the optical heterodyne magnetic rotation enhanced velocity modulation spectroscopy (OH-MR-VMS) [8–12]. Although many data of low-lying quantum states of rovibrational energies and rovibrational transition lines have been obtained experimentally [5–12] and theoretically [13–23], the high-lying ones are still difficult to obtain either experimentally due to the limitation of the sensitivity of the experimental system or theoretically as a result of the model and approximate method used in the theory. Brown and coworkers developed the effective Hamiltonian method (EHM) to construct algebraic expressions with parameters for transition frequencies [27].
An analytical formula is suggested to predict the accurate Q-branch spectral lines of rovibrational transitions for diatomic systems by taking multiple spectral differences, and is applied to study the high-lying Q-branch emission spectra of the (0, 0) band of the ${}^{4}Γ_{5 / 2} - {}^{4}Φ_{3 / 2}$ and ${}^{4}Γ_{7 / 2} - {}^{4}Φ_{5 / 2}$ systems of TiF molecule using fifteen known accurate experimental transition data. The results show that not only the known experimental transition lines are accurately reproduced, but also the correct values of the unknown spectral lines are predicted.

Extensive studies have been performed to investigate the emission spectral lines or the rovibrational energy levels of diatomic systems [1–6]. Many techniques, such as the Fourier's transform spectrometer (FTS) [7,8], the laser induced fluorescence (LIF) [9], the optical heterodyne magnetic rotation enhanced velocity modulation spectroscopy (OH-MR-VMS) [10], and the intracavity laser absorption spectroscopy (ILS) [11,12], etc. have been used to investigate the rovibrational transition spectra of some diatomic molecules or diatomic ions. Most of these experimental approaches can obtain some low-lying transition lines for a given vibrational transition band from υ′ to υ″.
An analytical formula based on the Herzberg's conventional rovibrational energy levels for diatomic system is proposed by taking multiple differences of spectral lines to predict the R-branch high-lying rovibrational emission spectroscopy, where only 15 accurate known transition lines and rotational constants $D_{υ^{'}}$ , $D_{υ^{″}}$ are needed. Using the formula, the R_11ee and R_22ff branches of (0, 2) and (0, 3) transition bands in the B²Σ⁺–X²Σ⁺ system of ¹²C¹⁷O⁺ are studied. The results show that not only the relatively lower order rovibrational transition lines given by experiments are reproduced but also the higher and the absent spectral lines are correctly predicted for each band.
Studies on the P-branch spectral lines of rovibrational transitions of diatomic system

Since the laser could be successively tuned only in a certain spectral region, only part of the spectral lines may be obtained [34]. And there are cases, the small Franck–Condon factor of a (υ′, υ″) transition band and the low population in the υ″ level may prevent one to obtain more reliable rovibrational lines in some given band [27], and some branches in certain transition band may not be obtained because the signals are too weak to observe. These realities in experimental and theoretical studies on molecular transition spectral lines and molecular rovibrational energies correspond to the fact that although a lot of spectral lines and/or rovibrational energy data are published, there are many cases where the spectral data are not available for wanted rovibrational states, especially for high-lying rotational states.
An analytical formula is used to predict the accurate P-branch spectral lines of rovibrational transitions for diatomic systems. The formula is derived from elementary expression of molecular total energy by taking multiple spectral differences. It is not only reproduces the known experimental transition lines by using a group of fifteen known experimental transition data, but also predicts the accurate spectral lines that may not be available experimentally. The P-branch emission spectra of the (0,1), (0,2) and (0,3) bands of the B² ∑ ⁺ → X² ∑ ⁺ system in the ¹²C¹⁷O⁺ molecular ion are studied, and correct values of the unknown spectral lines up to J = 80.5 for each band are predicted using the formula.
Precision cavity enhanced velocity modulation spectroscopy
2010, Chemical Physics Letters
The new technique of cavity enhanced velocity modulation spectroscopy has been further developed, incorporating a tighter cavity to laser lock and an optical frequency comb for absolute frequency calibration. Several $N_{2}^{+}$ transitions have been observed with much higher precision than previously possible, and transitions that were blended in earlier Doppler-limited experiments are now resolved. The full-width at half-maximum of the observed Lamb dips is $\sim 40 MHz$ , and appears to be dominated by a broadening due to the velocity modulation. Future extension of this technique into the mid-infrared should enable significant improvements in the sensitivity and resolution of vibrational spectroscopy of molecular ions.
