Frequency tunable infrared radiation from a difference frequency laser system has been used with a long path cell to study the electric quadrupole vibration–rotation spectrum of the deuterium molecule in the 2.8–3.9 μm region. A ratio method as well as frequency modulation were used to detect the weak absorption. Sub-Doppler linewidths due to collisional narrowing were observed with a D2 pressure of 1 atm. The wavelengths of 11 transitions were measured relative to infrared reference lines, and improved molecular constants for the ν = 0 and 1 states of D2 were determined.

The high-resolution spectrum of the ν4 fundamental band of NH3D+ has been observed in absorption in a hollow-cathode discharge with a difference-frequency laser system. The molecular constants have been determined through a least squares fit of the observed transition wave numbers to an effective Hamiltonian. The equilibrium rotational constant is estimated to be 4.438 ± 0.027 cm−1, from which the equilibrium N—H bond length is calculated to be 1.021 ± 0.003 Å. Some low-lying rotational transition frequencies in the ground state are calculated to assist in the search for pure rotational transitions in the laboratory and in interstellar space.

A rotational analysis of the 5ν1 (6450 A) band in the vibration–rotation spectrum of ammonia is presented here. The QP, QQ, and QR branches of a parallel transition are observed for values of J′ and K′ less than 6. Members of the SQ and OQ branches are observed with very low intensity. The molecular constants of the molecule in the (5, 0, 0, 0) vibrational level were determined; the N–H bond length is 1.015 ± 0.005 A and the bond angle is 112.0 ± 0.8° for this vibrational level. The potential energy to inversion of the molecule by excitation of the ν1 vibration only is 51 800 ± 1200 cm−1. The width of individual rotational lines increases with increase in J′ and K′. This increase in width is characteristic of a tunnelling mechanism. It may be due to the interaction between the normal modes of vibration at large vibrational energies. This analysis should improve the usefulness of the 6450 A band of ammonia for monitoring the temperature and pressure of the Jovian atmosphere.

Strengths of individual lines of the hot band ν8 + ν11 − ν11 of 12C3H4 at 3 μm have been measured with a high-resolution difference-frequency laser spectrometer. Finally, two intensity parameters have been determined using a general formulation written for hot bands E′ × E ← E of group D2d.
