The accuracy of the information obtained from observations of optical-wavelength, molecular absorption features in interstellar clouds is directly limited by the accuracy of the rotational-line oscillator strengths used in the analysis of data. This paper briefly discusses optical observations of molecules in interstellar clouds; surveys molecular lifetime and oscillator strengths; and reviews laboratory techniques for obtaining these data.
