Ultra-sensitive tunable difference frequency IR absorption spectroscopy in a slit supersonic jet has been used to observe sub-Doppler spectra of Ar-HF in the (lO\*O) HF stretch and (11'0) HF stretch plus van der Waals bend modes. Linewidths yield a lower limit of 3 X lo-' s for the predissociation l

β¦ Synopsis
Direct absorption spectra ofjet-cooled molecules are recorded by m$tipassing an infrared laser beam through a nozzle expansion and with all light rays perpendicular to the nozzle axis. A small blade is placed just upstream of the laser crossing to obstruct the passage of molecules that would otherwise absorb at the center of the Doppler profile. For the acetylene R 1 line at 3300 cm-', the resulting holes are as narrow as 12 MHz. The l-butyne 3333 cm-' band is used to illustrate the technique.

The first observation of yttrium monocarbide, YC, is reported. A number of vibronic bands have been observed in the 63% 650 nm region. Four of these bands have been investigated at a resolution of 120 MHz, and rotational constants have been derived. The bands originate from a common lower Q= 5/2 sta
The UV spectrum of the 6(1)0 S1 <-- S0 vibronic transition of benzene, located at 259 nm, was recorded by means of a combination of a cw laser doubling unit and a molecular beam apparatus. A typical linewidth of 27 MHz was observed, limited only by residual Doppler broadening in the supersonic beam.
