Optical frequency combs (OFCs) 1,2 offer significant advantages for Fourier transform spectrometers (FTS) 3,4 compared to thermal sources 5,6 . The high spectral brightness and spatial and temporal coherence of combs allow acquisition of broadband molecular spectra with high signal-tonoise ratios in recording times orders of magnitude shorter than traditional Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometers and removes the need to collimate light from isotropic sources. Furthermore,
• weak quadrupole S(2) 2-0 line in self-perturbed D2 is measured • collisional line-shape effects and energy of this rovibrational transition are calculated • the velocity-changing collisions are handled with the hardsphere collisional kernel • the experimental and theoretical pressure broadening and shift are consistent within 5 • we observe 3.4 sigma discrepancy between experimental and theoretical line position
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
