Abstract

Precision spectroscopy of molecular hydrogen can be used to test the quantum electrodynamics theory and determine the proton-to-electron mass ratio in a four-body system. Cavity-enhanced double-resonance spectroscopy is proposed to determine highly-excited rotation-vibration energies of HD with high precision. As a demonstration, the V-type comb-locked cavity-assisted double resonance (COCA-DR) spectroscopy of HD is measured by pumping the P(1) (2-0) line and probing the R(1) line in the same overtone band. The sum value of the two transition frequencies is determined to be 426 889 423 917 (26) kHz, representing a new test of theoretical calculations.
