Asymmetric and Symmetric CO2 Vibrational Modes

The level of vibrational excitation of the linear triatomic molecnle can then be denoted as C02(i i, i 2 3) showing the nnmber of quanta on each mode. For example, the molecule CO2 (0,2, 0) has only symmetric deformation vibrations excited with effective circular polarization. The total vibrational energy of a CO2 molecule at relatively low excitation levels can then be presented as follows  

The total vibrational energy of a CO2 molecule (5-14) can then be expressed as
