Abstract

Measurements have been made of the absorption of CO2 samples enriched in 18O and 17O by tunable diode lasers in the wave-number region 662.2-666.1 cm-1. The fundamental Q-branches of the 16O12C18O, 7 16O12C17O and 17O12C17O molecules are well resolved, together with "hot" Q branches and various R- and P-branch lines of other isotopic species; notably 18O12C18O and 17O12C16O. The molecular constants for the Q branch 0110 ← 00°0 of 16O12C18O have been calculated by a least mean-square fit to lines J=1 to 16 to be: vo = 662.3717 ± 0.0003 cm-1, ΔB = 9.65 ± 0.02 x 10-4 cm 1; where vo has been fixed in absolute magnitude by assuming the - 16O12C16O line, 0220 ←· 0110 P7, as a reference standard at 662.325 cm . More accurate values for ΔB and ΔD can be obtained by using the separation between several R lines and adjacent Q lines, and the known positions of the R lines relative to the origin to obtain: ΔB = 9.685 ± 0.002 x 10-4 cm 1 and ΔD = 2.2 ± 0.1 x 109 cm -1. Other molecular constants can be determined with highest precision by using low J-, R-, and P-branch lines as calibration standards, together with etalon spacing. The calculated line positions of the fundamental Q branch can be used as secondary standards to fit the hot bands.
