Dual-mode CO2-laser/microwave-sideband spectrometer with broadband and saturation dip detection for CH3OH
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This work reports dual-mode operation of a broadly tunable CO2-laser/microwave-sideband spectrometer employing a Cheo waveguide modulator and a CO2 laser that can operate on hot and sequence band lines as well as low- and high-J regular band lines. The spectrometer has a broadband scanning mode at Doppler-limited resolution for spectral searching and assignment, and a narrow-band sub-Doppler mode for precision measurements. In broadband mode, a 6.7–18.5 GHz (∼0.4 cm−1) window can be covered for each sideband in a single microwave sweep with a tracking Fabry–Perot etalon filter under computer control. In sub-Doppler mode, saturation-dip spectra are obtained at sub-MHz resolution with absolute frequency measurement accuracy of the order of ±200 kHz. The instrumental performance is demonstrated via spectra of the C–O stretching fundamental vibrational band of methanol. Doppler-limited broadband scans have been recorded with good signal-to-noise ratio in both the low- and high-J regions of the 9.6-μm-CO2 laser band, while narrow-band sub-Doppler scans have permitted clean separation of very close-lying lines in the CH3OH spectrum. The measurement precision is confirmed for several CH3OH transition systems through closure of combination loops. Our results illustrate the wide coverage and excellent resolution obtainable with CO2-sideband infrared laser radiation in a broadly tunable and convenient infrared source with high potential for spectroscopic applications.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
