High Precision Mid-IR Spectroscopy of 12 C 16 O 2 [10 0 1,02 0 1] I ← 00 0 0 Band Near 2.7 µm Jow-Tsong Shy Department of Physics, National Tsing Hua University, Hsinchu, Taiwan

Motivation and Goal [10 0 1,02 0 1] I ← 00 0 0 and [10 0 1,02 0 1] II ← 00 0 0 bands near 2.7 µm are two important absorption bands in atmosphere Urban’s group has made heterodyne frequency measurements for 9 transitions with an accuracy of 600 kHz in 1991. Our goal is to provide more accurate measurements
