A new corona slit nozzle has been constructed to study, by means of direct infrared absorption, molecular ions generated in a continuous supersonic expansion. Spectra of the ions H~-, D2 Hรท, D~-, HN~-, H3 O+ and ArH +, were detected in the 1900-3600 cm -1 region using difference frequency and diode

โฆ Synopsis
A novel corona-excited supersonic jet slit discharge is described, and its use as a source of rotationally cold free radicals for infrared direct absorption spectroscopy is discussed. The system was tested by detecting the rovibrational spectrum of CS and by observing the v2 band of NH2 3 'B,. Two different phase sensitive detection schemes were used. Although conventional frequency modulation of the infrared laser was successfully employed, a new population modulation scheme was more effective. Under the conditions described, rotational temperatures of the detected fragments were ~40 K.

High resolution infrared spectra of the n 5 and n 10 bands of C 2 F 6 in a supersonic jet have been measured using a diode laser spectrometer. The well resolved vibration-rotation lines of these two bands were obtained. The spectra were analyzed using a standard Hamiltonian for a prolate symmetric r
