104 (nu/sub 2/ + nu/sub 4/) reverse arrow nu/sub 2/ hot-band transitions, some of which correspond to known (nu/sub 2/ + nu/sub 4/) ..-->.. nu/sub 2/ CF/sub 4/ laser lines, have been identified and measured in high-resolution Doppler-limited spectra of /sup 12/CF/sub 4/ near 16 ..mu..m, obtained with a tunable diode laser. From an analysis of these frequencies, the rotational and tensor splitting constants for the nu/sub 2/ vibrational level have been determined. These constants, together with the nu/sub 2/ + nu/sub 4/ pump-band spectrum previously obtained, allow the laser emission frequencies for any given CO/sub 2/ pump line to be calculated with an accuracy of 0.01 to 0.003 cm/sup -1/.
