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

โฆ Synopsis
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 range 0.6 -6.8 THz with a one-sigma reproducibility of two parts in 10 7 . We propose an assignment of energy levels for two of the new laser lines and for five pumped by 10R(46) previously reported. The high frequency lines with absorption centers outside of the tuning range of the CO 2 laser pump showed doublets. These were used to evaluate the offsets of the CO 2 absorption transitions.

Progress in the analysis of the infrared spectrum of CH 3 OH in the 930 -1450 cm ฯช1 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-st
