Abstract
The paper is based on C12O2 16 rotational constants and line frequency data gained from laser frequency measurements performed recently. Equations for transition frequencies and their standard deviations have been derived. A list is presented containing accurate 10.4 and 9.4 μm line frequencies and their relative and absolute standard deviations; also wavenumbers and wavelengths are given for each line. For transitions usually observed in CO2 lasers the relative standard deviations are on the order of a few megahertz, the absolute accuracy is about 25 MHz for the 10.4 μm band and about 18 MHz for the 9.4=μm band.
