Abstract

The absorption coefficient and refractive index spectra of carbon monoxide gas are presented together for the first time in the range 300-900 GHz. An extra high resolution dispersive Fourier transform spectrometer was constructed for studies of gas molecules particularly pollutants. Line positioned can now be studied much precisely via dispersion data since the dispersion through a sharp rotational absorption line is a straight line rather than an envelope. It is therefore not necessary to interpolate around the turning point to determine the line position accurately. A demonstration of the much better resolved splitting for the J" equals 4 rotational transition line (at wavenumber equals 19.222 cm^-1) is shown. The line position we obtained agrees well with theoretical calculations. Results presented in this paper were obtained at a gas pressure of 250 torr.
