Seventy-eight absorption lines, located in an extremely crowded portion of the CH3OH spectrum, have been measured with a tunable coherent FIR spectrometer, based on third order mixing in a point contact diode. The high experimental resolution (20 kHz) allows the separation of overlapping lines observed with a Fourier transform spectrometer. Comparisons with previous Fourier transform measurements and theoretical predictions are presented. A separate measurement reveals that the 170 μm laser line of CH3OH is very close to a strong absorption line, possibly explaining the peculiar Stark behavior of the laser line and a large reported apparent pressure shift.

Abstract
Seventy-eight absorption lines, located in an extremely crowded portion of the CH3OH spectrum, have been measured with a tunable coherent FIR spectrometer, based on third order mixing in a point contact diode. The high experimental resolution (20 kHz) allows the separation of overlapping lines observed with a Fourier transform spectrometer. Comparisons with previous Fourier transform measurements and theoretical predictions are presented. A separate measurement reveals that the 170 μm laser line of CH3OH is very close to a strong absorption line, possibly explaining the peculiar Stark behavior of the laser line and a large reported apparent pressure shift.I documenti in FLORE sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
