High-sensitivity CRDS absorption spectrum of 17O enriched carbon dioxide near 1.74 µm

The room temperature absorption spectrum of 17O enriched carbon dioxide is investigated by high sensitivity cavity ring down spectroscopy (CRDS) between 5695 and 5850 cm−1. About 1100 lines are measured and assigned to 26 bands of the six 17O containing carbon dioxide isotopologues: 16O12C17O, 16O13C17O, 17O12C18O, 17O13C18O, 12C17O2 and 13C17O2. The set of observed lines are rovibrationnally assigned on the basis of the predictions of the effective Hamiltonian (EH) model. The observed bands belong to the ΔP = 8 and 9 series of transitions where P = 2 V1 + V2 + 3 V3 is the polyad number (Vi being the vibrational quantum numbers). They consist in 12 previously unobserved bands and 14 already-known bands, for which additional high J lines are assigned. Bands of the 12C17O2 and 13C17O2 isotopologues (two for each) are observed for the first time in this spectral interval. The spectroscopic parameters of the upper vibrational levels are determined from a band-by-band fit of the line positions (typical rms deviations are less than 0.001 cm−1). The comparison to the most recent carbon dioxide spectroscopic databases is presented. The reported data will be used to improve the modeling of the line positions of 17O containing carbon dioxide isotopologues.
