Doppler-free Spectroscopy of Buffer-Gas-Cooled Calcium Monohydroxide.

In this study, we report the Doppler-free spectra of buffer-gas-cooled CaOH. We observed five Doppler-free spectra containing low- Q and R transitions, which were only partially resolved by previous Doppler-limited spectroscopies. The spectra frequencies were corrected using the Doppler-free spectra of iodine molecules; accordingly, the uncertainty was estimated to be below 10 MHz.

High-resolution spectroscopy of buffer-gas-cooled phthalocyanine.

For over five decades, studies in the field of chemical physics and physical chemistry have primarily aimed to understand the quantum properties of molecules. However, high-resolution rovibronic spectroscopy has been limited to relatively small and simple systems because translationally and rotationally cold samples have not been prepared in sufficiently large quantities for large and complex systems. In this study, we present high-resolution rovibronic spectroscopy results for large gas-phase molecules, namely, free-base phthalocya-nine (FBPc).
