CH3OH laser line assignment revisited by FTS and a new line analysis routine

Recently we have published a listing of 3377 assigned IR absorption lines of CH3OH between 960 and 1100 cm-1, i.e. in the region overlapping with the CO2 laser emissions1, and a work where we have reviewed all the available literature on CH3OH far infrared (FIR) laser emissions2. In this latter work we have considered 495 laser lines emitted by the normal isotopic species of CH3OH, disregarding, for the moment, several additional laser lines excited by tunable CO2 TEA lasers. 205 FIR laser lines of CH3OH have been assigned up to now.
