| Abstract: | The fundamentals of XH stretching modes typically lie in the 2,500 – 3,700 cm$^{-1}$ (2.7 - 4.0 $\mu$m) range. Continuous-wave optical parametric oscillators (CW OPOs) enable high-resolution spectroscopy in this region. A Doppler-free saturated absorption spectroscopy apparatus with a high-power, widely tunable CW OPO as the light source has been built in our lab for high-resolution, high-precision spectroscopy of gas-phase molecules. We have obtained the Doppler-free spectrum of the Q branch of the $\nu_3$ band of CH$_4$ in a proof-of-principle experiment. Preliminary results from the experiment will be reported in this talk. A cavity-enhanced two-photon spectroscopy setup using the same CW OPO is under construction. |
