Abstract
The tunable FIR-laser sideband system has been used to study the $H_{3}O^{+}$ ion. Experiments have been done near $30 cm^{-1}$ using a HCN laser and near $45 cm^{-1}$ using an optical pumped laser. The tunability is achieved by mixing the radiation of a klystron with that of one of the lasers. Rotational transitions were observed near $30 cm^{-1}$ while transitions have been found near $45 cm^{1}$ which we have preliminarily assigned to the inversion splittings in $H_{3}0$
