Non-Linear Near-Infrared Spectroscopy Concepts for Remote Sensing

Lead Institution
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Thomas Blake
Linear forms of LIDAR, such as fluorescence or FM-DIAL, have proved ineffective for remotely detecting low concentration or otherwise transient compounds in the atmosphere, especially under standard…

High Resolution Infrared Spectroscopy of BF2OH

Lead Institution
University of Paris-7
Principal Investigator
Jean-Marie Flaud
Project type
Exploratory Research
We will record rotationally resolved infrared spectra of isotopically enriched 10BF2OH and 11BF2OH. The experimental work will be done using the hi-resolution Fourier transform infrared spectrometer…

Project type
Exploratory Research
We will record the high resoulution infrared spectrum of methyl phosphonic difluoride in the mid-infrared region. The purpose of this project is to identify individual ro-vibrational transitions that…

Vibration-Rotation Spectroscopy of Sulfur Trioxide

Lead Institution
Oregon State University
Principal Investigator
Joseph Nibler
Project type
Exploratory Research
This is a project to use the EMSL high-resolution Fourier transform to measure the rotationally resolved infared spectrum of sulfur trioxide and its oxygen-18 and sulfur-34 isotopometric data to…

Infrared Adiabatic Rapid Passage Spectroscopy of Small Gas Phase Molecules

Lead Institution
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Thomas Blake
Project type
Exploratory Research
Adiabatic rapid passage and superradiance spectroscopies using quantum cascade lasers are optical techniques that hold the promise of ultratrace detection of molecules in atmospheric grab samples…
