“…The infrared à 2 A‘−X̃ 2 A‘ ‘ transition has been viewed as an ideal candidate to overcome the aforementioned difficulties. It has been observed for several peroxy radicals in early low resolution modulated absorption experiments and intracavity laser absorption studies . It has a relatively small (σ ≈ 10 -21 −10 -20 cm 2 ) transition , moment, but the cavity ringdown spectroscopy (CRDS) technique has evolved into a powerful tool for spectroscopic observations of weakly absorbing transient species. , Our group has reported application of the CRDS technique to study the à 2 A‘ − X̃ 2 A‘ ‘ transition of peroxy radicals, and sharp, structured spectra for several alkyl peroxy and fluorinated methyl peroxy radicals have been reported. , Recently, a CW version of CRDS has been applied to study alkyl peroxy radical spectroscopy and kinetics …”
