Popis: Two-color polarization spectroscopy (TC-PS) and two-color resonant four-wave mixing spectroscopy (TC-RFWM) are used to detect photolytically produced CH3 radicals. An infrared laser pumps individual lines in the ν3 fundamental of the X 2 A 2 ″ state, and an ultraviolet laser probes the pumped levels to reveal rotationally resolved spectra of transitions to the predissociated B 2 A 1 ′ state. The spectra are fit with a complex Lorentzian lineshape and yield an updated value of 46 239.4±1.2 cm −1 for T0 of the B state. A detection limit of 2×1013 CH3 molecules per cm3 per quantum state is observed for these coherent double-resonance techniques.
