A cw planar jet computer-controlled tunable IR diode laser spectrometer for the investigation of hydrogen-bonded complexes

Abstract
An ultrasensitive computer‐controlled tunable infrared diode laser cw planar supersonic jet spectrometer for second derivative detection of hydrogen‐bonded complexes is described. Spectroscopicanalyses of transitions in carbon monoxide monomer permit detection limits to be set at 2.9×106 molecules/cm3/quantum state. Simultaneously recorded spectra of the ν2C≡O stretching vibrations in OC—HCl and OC—HBr are presented to illustrate the performance of this supersonic jet spectrometer for investigating weakly bound hydrogen‐bonded dimers.
