High sensitivity cavity ring down spectroscopy of 13C16O2 overtone bands near 806 nm

Abstract The absorption spectrum of 13 C 16 O 2 near 806 nm has been recorded with a continuous-wave cavity ring-down spectrometer. Two cold bands and one associated hot band are observed in this region. The line positions of these bands are determined with an accuracy of 0.003 cm −1 . The absolute line intensities have also been retrieved with an estimated accuracy of 4% for majority of the unblended lines. The vibrational transition dipole moment squared values and the empirical Herman–Wallis coefficients are determined for all the three bands. The comparison of the retrieved line positions and intensities to those given in the Carbon Dioxide Spectroscopic Databank shows large deviations in the line intensities of the 10052–00001 band. The effective dipole moment parameters describing the line intensities of 13 C 16 O 2 near 806 nm are fitted according to the observed line intensities.
