Abstract
Raman scattering and exciton luminescence and absorption have been studied in high-purity single-crystal O at liquid-helium temperature using 4880-Å laser excitation. The Raman-active mode has been unambiguously identified at 515 , and the first observation made of luminescence from the yellow excitons and their continuum. Comparison of the Raman spectra with the absorption and luminescence spectra near the exciton has clarified the origin of the strong 220- Raman feature and yielded evidence for wave-vector-independent and wave-vector-dependent exciton-phonon coupling, respectively, for the and optic phonons.
