Abstract
A novel spectroscopic method for highly sensitive detection of hot-band transitions based on infrared-infrared double resonance in a molecular beam was successfully demonstrated. The intensity of the infrared transitions from a vibrationally excited state is enhanced by two orders of magnitude by resonant laser pumping. The hot-band transitions are identified in connection with the assigned transitions in the fundamental band. Doppler-free spectral lines are observed. The experiment was carried out on the 2v 3←v 3 transitions of CH3F with CO2 laser pumping and probing.
