Abstract
Microwave resonant absorption has been observed in $OH^{-}$-doped KCl and NaCl crystals. Several lines were observed from $8-40$ GHz by using relatively standard spectroscopic techniques. The zero-field spectra obtained here indicate that the $OH^{-}$ ion experiences a strong $C_{4v}$ potential in addition to the expected octahedral crystal field. The $C_{4v}$ potential probably arises from a shift of the $OH^{-}$ center of mass from the lattice site.
