Introduction
Sulfur dioxide is an important chemical species in many fields such as chemistry, astrophysics, atmospheric optics, laser techniques, etc. (see, e.g., reviews in Refs. [1], [2]). Therefore, spectroscopic studies of the sulfur dioxide molecule have been made during many years both in the microwave (see, e.g., review in Ref. [3]), and submillimeter wave and infrared regions (see, Refs. [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13], [14], [15], [16], [17], [18], [19], [20], [21], [22], [23], [24], [25], [26], [27], [28], [29], [30], [31], [32], [33], [34]). Recently we fulfilled the analysis of the set of high excited vibrational bands of the SO2 molecule, Refs. [35], [36], [37]. In the present paper we continue our study of the SO2 high-resolution spectra, and the subject of interest now is the weak bands and (the upper vibrational state, (1 2 0) and (0 2 1)). We also re-analysed the ro-vibrational structure of the considerably stronger bands, and , and more than two times increased the known information about these bands. A strong resonance interaction with the (0 3 0) vibrational state is clearly indicated and discussed.

Experimental details
The spectrum of SO2 in the wavenumber region 1500–2300 cm−1 was measured with the Bruker IFS 120 HR Fourier transform spectrometer in Oulu, Finland. The interferogram was recorded at room temperature with a sample pressure of 0.83 Torr and an absorption path length of 163 m. A Globar source, a KBr beam splitter, and an MCT detector were used. The instrumental resolution due to the path difference and the aperture broadening was 0.0024 cm−1, whereas the Doppler width in the middle of the measured
Description of the spectrum and assignment of transitions
Experimentally recorded spectra in the region of location of the strong bands, and , are shown in the upper parts of Fig. 1, Fig. 2 (Fig. 1, Fig. 2, respectively). In both cases, all three branches, P, Q, and R, are clearly pronounced. In the first case (Fig. 1), the upper vibrational state is of A1 symmetry and therefore the observed transitions are of b-type. In this case, one can see a strong Q-branch typical for such type of bands. In the second case (Fig. 2), the upper
Hamiltonian model and determination of spectroscopic parameters of the polyad
The Hamiltonian model employed was taken from Refs. [40], [41]. However, for the convenience of the reader, we briefly reproduce it here. Because strong local interaction was found between the vibrational states (1 1 0) and (0 3 0), the corresponding Fermi-type interaction operator was taken into account in the Hamiltonian model used for analysis of energy values from Table 1. In this case, in spite of the very small absolute value of the corresponding interaction parameter, an introduction of such
Analysis of the “hot” bands, and
As the next step of our analysis, we constructed simulated spectra of the studied bands, and (see, Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3, Fig. 4). In this case, in construction of the simulated spectra only relative line intensities were calculated. As the analysis showed, the correct spectrum for the band can be simulated with only one main effective dipole moment parameter. At the same time, for simulation of the spectrum in the region of the band, it is necessary to use, at least,
Conclusion
We re-analysed the high resolution ro-vibrational structures of the and vibrational bands and, as a result, assigned about 2.5 times more transitions than was made before. Some transitions belonging to the band and caused by the strong Fermi interaction between the (1 1 0) and (0 3 0) states were also assigned. Then the experimental spectrum was filtered by taking the lines belonging to the “cold” bands, , , and , and transitions belonging to the weak “hot” bands,
