Precision spectroscopy of narrow transitions of atoms and molecules has been the subject of numerous studies in recent decades and has been widely applied in sensing,metrology, and frequency references for optical clocks. Narrow optical resonances also provide excellent probes for determining fundamental physics constants, such as the Rydberg constant and the proton-to-electron mass ratio. In...
Precision spectroscopy of molecular hydrogen and its isotopes, combined with accurate calculations, allows us to test the fundamental quantum chemistry theory and to determine the fundamental physical constants such as the proton-to-electron mass ratio[1,2]. In general, high overtone transitions may allow for measurements with a better fractional accuracy. However, direct measurement of high...
