Theabsorption spectra ofHD160wererecorded using a F$:LiF color center intracavity laser spectrometer in the 0.9~pm region and an optoacoustic dye laser spectrometer in the 0.59-pm spectral region. Energy levels and rotational and centrifugal distortion constants of the (003) and (005) states were determined. Improved sets of vibrational and vibration-rotation constants have been obtained by fitting all available data for the energy levels of HDO. o 1992 Academic press. IX. 1. INTRODUCTION

The investigation of high-resolution spectra of Hz0 and its major isotopomers is required for the interpretation of atmospheric spectra and calculations of the absorption due to minor atmospheric constituents in the atmospheric transmittance windows. Since the HD I60 molecule is an asymmetric isotopic modification of water, studying its spectrum will provide additional information needed for the determination of the intramolecular potential function of the water molecule. The absorption spectrum of H2160 has been very extensively studied; about 100 bands from 0 to 22 596 cm-’ have been included in databases (1, 2). However, for the HD I60 molecule only 13 bands have been observed so far. The first extensive study of the HDO in the infrared region using spectral resolution of 0.25 cm-’ was carried out by Benedict et al. (3)) where 10 vibration-rotation bands were found in the region 2400-8000 cm-‘. The high-resolution spectra of HD I60 were discussed in Refs. (d-14). Pure rotational lines were observed in the MW (4, 5) and the far-infrared FTS (6) experiments. Recently, Fourier transform spectra were recorded for the v2band ( 7) (in the spectrum of natural water vapor), for the zq and 2~~ bands (8, 9), for the u3, u1 + v2, and 3v2 bands (ZO), and for the ~2 + v3 band (II). The absorption spectra of the q + ~3and 2u2 + v3 bands have been recorded from 6380 to 6600 cm-’ by using single-mode distributed feedback semiconductor lasers ( 12) with an experimental accuracy of about 0.004 cm-‘. The highly excited vibrational states of the HDO molecule, (0 12 ), ( 12 1)) and ( 3 lo), were studied using highly sensitive intracavity laser spectrometers ( 13, 14) from 8000 to 9500 cm-‘. Accurate values for the rotational energy levels of the ground vibrational state and spectroscopic constants of the Watson-type reduced Hamiltonian have been reported by Johns and colleagues (6) and by Papineau et al. (8). A least-squares fit of rotational and resonance constants was carried out by Pert-in eta1.(15,16)inthecaseofthefirsttworesonancediads{(100)-(020)}and{(110)(030) >. The parameters of the Watson Hamiltonian for the well-isolated vibrational states (OOI), (01 l), and (012) have been reported in Refs. (II, Z4, 17). A model of the nonresonant vibrational state has been used and the values of rotational constants 197

were obtained for the vibrational states (3 10) and ( 12 1) belonging to the resonance triad { ( 3 10) - ( 12 1) - (04 1) > in Ref. ( 13). The rotational and resonance constants of the (( lOl )-(021) > diad were reported in a recent publication (12). In this paper we report the first observations and analysis of the spectra of HD I60 in the 0.9- and 0.59-pm regions. 2. EXPERIMENTAL

DETAILS

The HDO vibrational bands in the short wavelength spectral range are very weak and consequently we used a highly sensitive laser spectrometer for the investigation. The absorption spectra were measured using a F::LiF color center intracavity laser spectrometer in the 0.9-pm region and an optoacoustic dye laser spectrometer in the 0.59~pm spectral region. The Intracavity Laser ~~ect~~rneter The method of intracavity laser (ICL) spectroscopy consists of quenching the laser emission at the absorption-line frequencies of the species placed in a broadband laser cavity. In ICL spectroscopy the laser itself is a nonlinear detector of weak absorption. The ICL spectrum in the vicinity of an absorption line can be described as J(v, 0 = J(v,

where J( Y, 0) represents the normalized spectrum formed at the initial time of generation, L, is the length of the absorbing layer, L, is the length of laser cavity, and c is the speed of light. To obtain a highly sensitive ICL spectrometer the laser should have a long pulse duration t . A F: :LiF laser operated at room temperature was used in a highly sensitive ICL spectrometer. A detailed description of the spectrometer was presented in Ref. (18). The pumping of the color center laser was performed with a quasi-c.w. ruby laser with a pulse duration of 900 PS in the longitudinal pump geometry. The pulse duration of the F2+:LiF laser was 400 I.LSand thus provided the EL spectrometer with a threshold absorption sensitivity of 3 X lo-* cm-’ . The spectral range per pulse was 100 cm-’ and the total tuning range of the spectrometer was 10 280-10 770 cm-‘. The ICL spectrum was recorded using a spectrograph with a spectral resolution of 0.05 cm-‘. An equilibrium mixture of HzO, D20, and HDO (its total pressure was 19 Torr and the tem~rature was 296-600 K) was used. The abso~tion lines of HZ0 present in the spectrum served as reference lines, relative to which the positions of the HDO lines were measured with an accuracy of 0.03 cm-‘.

The distinction between the absorption spectra of H20, HDO, and DzO can effectively be made in the spectrometers based on narrowband lasers (Au < 0.001 cm-’ ) by recording the absorption due to the mixture and the absorption due to a single component simultaneously with a pair of optoacoustic detectors. The detection sensitivity of the optoacoustic (OA) spectrometers can be improved by 10 or 100 times by placing an OA detector in the laser cavity. However, setting the OA detector in the cavity of the single-mode tunable laser requires a considerable

(more than twofold) increase in the cavity length and, consequently, a decrease in the distance between the longitudinal cavity modes. This makes it difficult to select one longitudinal mode and to obtain a smooth tuning. In a linear dye laser, due to space-inhomogeneous saturation in a thin active medium (the jet thickness is 0.02 cm) the most stable and easily co&rolled is a two-frequency generation regime. The distance Au between the generated frequencies is a function of the distance L on the jet up to the cavity mirror Au = c/4L. In our case the lasermode difference was 1.8 GHz and remained constant in laser spectral tuning. Thus an optoacoustic spectrometer with a two-frequency dye laser with OA detectors inside the cavity scanned every absorption line twice and two absorption lines appeared in the spectrum instead of one. The distance between them is equal to the distance between generating modes. Since the distance is not changed during tuning one can easily take into account such doubling lines and can obtain a real absorption shape. The OA spectrometer with two detectors inside the cavity of a two-frequency dye laser is simpler in performance than the spectrometer with a one-frequency laser. Narrowing of the laser linewidth is achieved by means of two selecting elements, i.e., using a birefringent filter and a fine Fabry-Perot &talon with a relatively small reflection coefficient. The linewidth of the modes was determined by frequency fluctuations and was equal to lo-20 MHz. The signals of optoacoustic detectors are measured by the frequency modulation method (recording the first derivative). This completely excludes a frequency-independent background signal and increases the spectrometer resolution. The OA spectrometer has a threshold sensitivity of < 1O-’ cm-’ for a power of 1 W; its detailed description is presented in Ref. ( 19). In order to separate the absorption spectra of the isotopomers, the Hz0 vapor was placed in one of the OA detectors and a mixture of HDO, D20, and Hz0 was placed in the other. Moreover, the spectrum of Hz0 in the visible region has been fairly well studied (20) and Hz0 absorption lines were used as reference lines relative to which the line positions of HDO were measured with an accuracy of 0.005 cm-‘. 3. THEORETICAL

ANALYSIS

To interpret the spectra of HDO in the 0.9- and 0.59-pm regions where investigations of the HDO spectra have not been performed previously, estimations of the band origins and rotational constants are needed. The vibration-rotation constants czi, &, vibrational frequencies wi, anharmonic constants x,, and Fermi-resonance constant F were determined using a least-squares fitting to previously obtained (3, 7-17) band centers, and the A, B, and C rotational constants of 13 bands of HDO. These parameters were used to calculate the spectra of HDO in the 0.9- and 0.59-pm regions. The Line Assignments The band center calculations have provided us with the general structure of the absorption spectrum of HDG and D20 in the spectral regions under investigation. There are four absorption bands of HDO: 3v3, 2ul + ~2 + ~3, IJ~+ 31~2+ ~3, and 5~ + u3at 0.9 pm. The vibrational quantum numbers and energies of the upper vibrational states are presented in Table I. The 3~3band appears to be the strongest among others because of smaller changes in vibrational quantum numbers. The preliminary calculations have shown that in the region 16 746- 17 0 12 cm-’ the lines of the 5u3, 4ul + 22~ + v3, ul + 4v3, and 5~ + u3 bands may occur. The

estimations of the band origins are shown in Table I. It may be supposed that the strongest band in this region is 5v3 for the same reason as in the 313 case. Another strong band ZQ+ 4~~ with the same Au = 5 as for 5v3 is out of the spectral region under investigation. The other bands listed in Table I for the 0.59-pm region must be at least an order of magnitude weaker. For line assignment the calculations of positions and relative strengths of the lines in the spectral regions from 10 280 to 10 780 cm-’ and from 16 500 to 17 800 cm-’ have been carried out. The results of the calculations as well as combinational differences of the lower state were used to assign the lines with J = 1, 2, and 3. After dete~ination of the energy levels with J G 3 the rotational constants have been fitted and new values of constants were used for the line center calculations. The assignments of the lines with larger values of Jwere accomplished by refining spectroscopic constants at each new step. From 667 lines, found in the 0.9-pm spectrum, 317 lines have been assigned as transitions from the ground to the (003) vibrational state. In the 0.59-pm spectrum, 231 lines have been assigned as transitions from the ground to the (005) vibrational state among 2.51 lines previously attributed to HDO. The energy levels of the (003) vibrational state deduced from the spectrum are shown in Table II. We have found 97 energy levels of the (003) vibrational state up to J = 14 and iu, = 7. The analysis of the relative strength of the lines has shown that the 3v3 band is a “hybrid” band with nearly equal intensities for “a” and “b” type transitions. Eighty-six energy levels have been determined for the (005) vibrational states up to J = 11 and iu, = 7. These energy levels are also shown in Table II. It follows from the relative line-strength ~ompa~son that the 5~ band is an “a” type, and an intensity of “b” transitions is 10 times weaker than that of an “a” transition. The Rotational Constants Determination The energy levels determined are used to fit the rotational and centrifugal distortion constants for both the (003) and the (005 ) vibrational states. We have used the Watson A-reduced Hamiltonian for this dete~ination, + B” i- C” J2 + B” - C” Jz xy 2 2

The harmonic frequencies, the anharmonic xv and some of the ytik constants, and the resonance constant F have been determined from least-squares fitting to 14 band centers.

marked with an “a” were calculated by means of isotopic rules (21) and were fixed during the fit. The a~ment between caIculated and experimental vibrational energies is satisfactory (the rms is 0.20 cm-‘). The parameters from Table IV are in agreement with those obtained by Benedict et al. (3). The value of the resonance parameter F is almost the same as that obtained by Pen-in et al. (15, 16) from the analysis of the first and second diads of interacting vibrational states of I-DO. The first set of vibrational parameters used to predict spectra in the 0.9- and 0.59pm regions had errors of about 8 cm-’ for the band center of 3v3 and 20 cm-’ for 5~. We believe that the new set of parameters which was obtained using the (003) and (005) states showed marked improvement in the predictions. The new values of vibrational constants were used to calculate bands origins up to 13 000 cm-‘. The results are presented in Table V, We have found the vibration-rotation constants (Y; , & from least-squares fitting to rotational constants of 14 vibrational states.

where X ( =A, B, or C) is the rotational constant in the vibrational state V and X, is the equilibrium values. The constants obtained are presented in Table IV. A comparison of the experimental A, B, and C constants of the (005) state with predicted ones shows that errors of prediction are about 0.01 cm-’ . 4. CONCLUSIONS

The highly excited vibrational states (003) and (005~ of HID I60 have been investigated for the first time. Line assignments and energy levels were determined and the rotational constants of the Watson A-reduced Hamiltonian were obtained. TABLE V The Vibmtion~ Energy Levds of HDi60 up to 13 000 cm-’

FIG. 1. The ug dependence of the rotational A (a) and centrifugal Ak (b) constants of HDO (0, (0011~) states; X, ( 0 1vj ) states).

The energy level calculations of the vibration-rotation states (003 ) and (005 ) of the HDO molecule appear to be reliable without taking into account accidental resonances. This is contrary to our experience with the highly excited energy level calculations for light asymmetric top molecules (such as HzO, HIS) where it was necessary to include the effects of a large number of resonances (see, for instance, Ref. (22)). The vibrational states (00~) of HDO may be considered isolated ones because the Darling-Dennison or Coriolis type resonances are not significant due to the large difference between the v1, 2vz, and v3 vibrations. The resonances between considered vibrational states and others nearby are negligible because of large changes in vibrational quantum numbers. Indeed, the energy difference between the (003) state and its nearest vibrational state (320) is only 19 cm-‘, but nondiagonal matrix elements of the Hamiltonian are small, at least for small values of quantum number J. Hence, in the first approximation we can neglect the accidental resonances in energy level calculations. The situation is the same in the case of the (005) vibrational state. It is useful to compare the parameters of the (003 ) and (005 ) states with the parameters of the (00~~) and (0 103) type vibrational states. The dependence of rotational constants on u3 is shown in Fig. 1. It may be seen that there is a systematic trend in the rotational and centrifugal distortion constants with an increase in the quantum number 03. The rotational constants show a near linear dependence on the number of OH-stretching vibration quanta. The same behavior of rotational constants occurs in the case of the (0 1213)set of vibrational states of HD I60 (14, 17). This shows that the nonresonant Hamiltonian ( 1) is a realistic one for the (003) and (005) states despite the high-energy excitation. The redetermination of the spectroscopic constants of HDO appears to make possible a more accurate calculation of the rotational constants for the bands in the short wavelength range.
