(1) Meeting on High Resolution I.R. Application and Development NBS. Gaithersburg β MARYLAND - U.S.A. (23-25 June 1980)Author Institution:Lines of the Ξ½1β band of ozone have been accurately measured in the range 1066β1092cmβ1. The technique of measurement described elsewhere (1) uses the beatnotes of the laser diode, a stabilized CO2β laser and two microwave sources. The generation of harmonies of the microwave frequencies leads to frequency makers distant of 1 GHz from each in a typical 24 GHz range centered on each CO2β line (from 9 R(42)) The lines are Doppler resolved and the accuracy of measurement is better than 1 mk. In the recorded spectrum, there are also many lines of the well known Ξ½3β band. A least square fit using the observed frequency of the two strongly coupled Ξ½3β and nu1β band leads to new parameters for the Ξ½1β state
