Abstract
Accurate quantitative measurements in microwave spectroscopy are extremely useful. Information about vibrational potential functions, barriers to internal rotation, equilibrium constants, and ordinary chemical analysis could be obtained from these data. In spite of the fact that techniques have been developed which have improved measurement of the unsaturated intensity coefficient, this quantity has two basic disadvantages: (1) Microwave lines readily power-saturate forcing the measurement to be performed under minimum signal conditions. (2) The peak intensity coefficient is a function of broadening effects. A measurable quantity which has neither of these disadvantages will be discussed. The results of several experimental tests of the properties of this quantity will be presented.
