In the former application, rotational lines in the vCO = 1 state have been observed with good signal to noise ratios and physical processes involved in this method have been discussed. In the latter method, (vt, A/E, K) = (2, A, 4) sequence transitions in the C-O stretching fundamental band have been identified and term values for the (2, A, 4) levels in the vCO = 1 state have been determined. Keywords: Sub-Doppler spectroscopy, methyl alcohol, infrared. Introduction Microwave sidebands of CO2 laser lines are useful infrared sources for spectroscopy in the 10-mm region due to their tunability, high power and high spectral purity. In this paper two applicatio ns related with saturated absorption to the spectroscopy for the C-O stretching fundamental band of the methanol molecule are reported: (1) infrared- microwave double resonance spectroscopy and (2) infrared saturation spectroscopy. The C-O stretching fundamental band of methanol has been studied by many researchers because of spectroscopic interest and practical interest related to optically-pumped far-infrared lasers. This band has been studied by infrared Fourier transform (FT) spectroscopy [1] and the data given in Ref. [1] are now widely used. However, in the FT spectrum, where resolution is limited by t
