Abstract
We present absolute line center frequencies for 24 fundamental nu-3 ro-vibrational P-branch transitions near 4.5 um in N2O with an absolute frequency uncertainty of 800 kHz. The spectra were acquired with a swept laser spectrometer consisting of an external-cavity quantum cascade laser whose instantaneous frequency was continuously tracked against a near-infrared frequency comb. The measured absorbance profiles have a well-calibrated frequency axis, and are fitted to determine absolute line center values. We discuss the main sources of uncertainty.Citation
