Abstract
Isobutylene is a molecule of great interest for modeling an explosive detection scheme. Previous analyses in the Reeve lab include low resolution (0.125 cm -1) FTIR scans of the 7 and 28 bands of isobutylene. These scans were used as a baseline for calibrating high resolution (0.01 - 0.001 cm -1) QCL scans of the 7 band. Amplitude modulation and frequency modulation techniques were utilized, though the latter was primarily used in this work. Rotational constants, including J', Ka, and Kc values for several peaks were assigned using combination differences.
