The scope of research in the field of high resolution infrared spectroscopy has expanded in numerous directions in recent years. Investigations of high resolution molecular spectra performed under controlled conditions in the laboratory are of significance to planetary studies because of the high resolution which one can achieve at the present time in the spectra of planets. In making use of laboratory data it is important to develop a proper perspective; due to technological advances the quality of experimental results has improved continuously during the past two decades, and, therefore, one has to exercise proper judgement when combining information from different laboratories. Somewhat detailed discussions are presented for the spectra of CO and CO2 to illustrate what modern measurements are capable of accomplishing. In the case of CO2, the extensive measurements of Courtoy and Herzberg done in the early 50's are not summarized in this paper because they are all consolidated in three previous publications. On the other hand, more recent measurements on CO2 are scattered in several publications and, therefore, an attempt has been made to collect them together in this article. This is not a comprehensive review paper but it is intended to provide only a glimpse into the expanding frontiers of research in high resolution infrared spectroscopy.
