✦ Synopsis

Progress in the analysis of the infrared spectrum of CH 3 OH in the 930 -1450 cm Ϫ1 region has led to assignments, confirmations, or new insights for a number of far-infrared laser (FIRL) transition systems optically pumped by CO 2 lasers. Many of the systems involve FIRL transitions among the CO-stretching, CH 3 -rocking, OH-bending, and CH 3 -deformation vibrational modes, giving useful information on the torsion-rotation structure of the methanol vibrational energy manifold. Some anomalies and mysteries concerning the identity of the lasing levels have been resolved, but several new ones have arisen. Altogether, 45 CH 3 OH IR-pump/FIR-laser systems are examined in light of the new spectroscopic information; about half of the system assignments are new and half have been previously reported in the literature and are here confirmed, extended, or revised.

We have revisited the assignments of the far-infrared laser lines emitted by 13 CH 3 OH by comparing the laser systems to a high resolution Fourier transform absorption spectrum of 13 CH 3 OH. The absorption spectrum was analyzed by means of the ''Ritz'' program, which calculates the energy level va

We report the identification and characterization of eight new FIR laser lines from methanol (CH 3 OH) in the range 48.4 to 453.7 m pumped by sequence and hot bands of a cw CO 2 laser. Frequency measurements for most of the new FIR laser lines and from previously reported ones were obtained in the r
