The room temperature spectrum of carbon monoxide in natural isotopic abundance is recorded by Cavity Ring Down Spectroscopy between 8094 and 8317 cm−1. The investigated range covers the low frequency region of the third overtone band centered at 8414 cm−1. The achieved sensitivity of the recordings corresponds to a noise equivalent absorption, αmin~5×10–12 cm−1. 94 transitions are measured with intensity ranging between 3×10–27 and 1×10–30 cm/molecule. They include the first observation of (i) high J lines of the P branch of the 4-0 band of 12C16O, (ii) the 4-0 band of 13C16O and 12C18O present in natural abundance in the sample (35 and 38 transitions, respectively), (iii) a few lines of the 4-0 band of 12C17O and of the 5-1 hot band of 12C16O. The spectroscopic parameters of the v=4 upper level of 13C16O and 12C18O are obtained from a fit of the measured line positions.

The line positions reported with an accuracy of 5×10−4 cm−1 and the derived line intensities are used for comparison to various theoretical line lists of carbon monoxide available in the literature. The agreement between the obtained experimental data and the most recent theoretical line lists available in the literature is discussed.
