Line mixing and speed dependence in CO2 at 6227.9 cm-1 Constrained multispectrum analysis of intensities and line shapes in the 30013←00001 band

Line position, intensity and line shape parameters (Lorentz widths, pressure shifts, line mixing, speed dependence) are reported for transitions of the 30013 <- 00001 band of (OCO)-O-16-C-12-O-16 (nu(0) = 6227.9 cm(-1)). The results are determined from 26 high-resolution, high signal-to-noise ratio spectra recorded at room temperature with the McMath-Pierce Fourier transform spectrometer. To minimize the systematic errors of the retrieved parameters, we constrained the multispectrum nonlinear least squares retrieval technique to use quantum mechanical expressions for the rovibrational energies and intensities rather than retrieving the individual positions and intensities line by line. Self- and air-broadened Lorentz width and pressure-induced shift, speed dependence and line mixing (off-diagonal relaxation matrix elements) coefficients were adjusted individually. Errors were further reduced by simultaneously fitting the interfering absorptions from the weak 30012 <- 00001 band of (OCO)-O-16-C-13-O-16 as well as the weak hot bands 31113 <- 01101, 32213 <- 02201, 40014 <- 10002 and 40013 <- 10001 of (OCO)-O-16-C-12-O-16 in this spectral window. This study complements our previous work on line mixing and speed dependence in the 30012 <- 00001 band (nu(0) = 6347.8 cm(-1)) [V.M. Devi, D.C. Benner, L.R. Brown, C.E. Miller, R.A. Toth, J. Mol.
