Abstract

Laser-Stark spectra have been observed for methyl alcohol using the 311 μm line of the HCN laser. Partial assignments are presented for the three most distinctive structures in the spectra. The low field structure is clearly associated with a member of the J=20↭19qRa-type multiplet, and is tentatively identified as the k=13 A vt=0 transition. The other two structures originate from the 93↭82 E vt=0 transition, and from a member of the k= 6↭5 A vt=1 Q branch, tentatively assigned as the J=32 member.
