Abstract
The magnetic rotation technique has been optimized and applied for spectroscopy of the OH fundamental band at about 3670 cm−1 by use of a colour centre laser. The response of the molecules to the modulation field has been studied in detail, resulting in calculation of effectiveg-values, which describe the modulation sensitivity of the transitions and the phase of the signals.
