Abstract

The analysis of infrared microwave sideband laser spectra of the $v_{2}$ band of $D_{2}CO$ at $1700 cm^{-1}$, for which a preliminary report was given at this meeting last year, has been completed with the determination of improved molecular constants for the $v_{2} - 1$ state. Approximately 150 transitions have been fit to a set of constants that can predict transitions for $J < 30$ and $K < 9$ to an absolute accuracy of approximately 10 MHz. The transitions for $K_{a}{^{a}}- 9-11$ show evidence for a resonance. An infrared radio-frequeney double resonance effect has been observed by pumping an R-bend transition in the $\nu_{2}$ band of $H_{2}CO$ with the Infeared microwave sideband laser system operating at fixed resonant frequency and recording the infrared transmission as a function of radio frequency. Double resonance effects were observed when the RF frequency coincided with the splittings of the connected asymmetry doublets.
