Abstract

An infrared-infrared double-resonance technique, employing the sidebands produced by electro-optic amplitude modulation of a single-frequency CO2 laser, is used to observe the second-order Stark effect of the ν2 as R(2, 0) transition of 15NH3. The technique enables the Stark shifts in ground and vibrationally excited states to be observed separately and yields the electric dipole moments: μ(v2 = 1) = 1.253 ± 0.003 D, μ(v = 0) = 1.469 ± 0.004 D. The relative intensity distribution, linewidths, and line shapes of features in the double-resonance Stark spectra are also examined.
