HIGH RESOLUTION SPECTRUM OF OZONE

Author Institution: Department of Physics, The Ohio State UniversityThe fine structures of the $\nu_{1} + \nu_{2}$ and $\nu_{2} + \nu_{3}$ bands of ozone, located at $1796 cm^{-1}$ and $1726 cm^{-1}$, respectively, have been recorded and analyzed. The two vibrational states are coupled through Coriolis and second-order distortion terms. The interaction has been treated by the numerical diagonalization of the secular determinant for the two coupled states. Values for the band centers, rotational constants, and coupling terms will be presented
