Abstract

The (1,0) vibrational band of the [13.10] $\Omega$=1 – $\it{X}$ $^{3}\Sigma^{-}$(0$^{+}$) transition of tungsten sulfide (WS) has been measured in absorption using Intracavity Laser Spectroscopy with Fourier transform detection (ILS-FTS). WS was synthesized in a 0.05-0.15 A DC current plasma discharge within a tungsten lined hollow cathode at 625 mTorr with 65\% Ar, 17.5\% He, 17.5\% H$_{2}$, and a trace amount of CS$_{2}$. The spectrum was calibrated using literature values for argon lines and PGOPHER’s calibration feature [C.M. Western, J. Quant. Spectrosc. Radiat. Transfer 2016 (186), 221-242]. Three rotational branches (P , Q-, and R-branch) with four WS isotopologues ($^{182}$WS, $^{183}$WS, $^{184}$WS, and $^{186}$WS) were observed in the spectrum. Molecular constants for these isotopologues were determined for both electronic states. The line positions of the (0,0) band of this transition [L.F. Tsang et al., J. Mol. Spectrosc. 2019 (359), 31-36] were included in the fit. The results of the analysis will be presented, and compared with calculations [L.F. Tsang et al., 2019].
