Temperature dependence of self-broadening in molecular-oxygen spectrum

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento D

Summary

Thep P(k=9) magnetic-dipole transition of the oxygen 0-0 vibrational band of the red systemb 1Σ +g X 3Σ g was observed with absorption spectroscopy using a tunable CW diode laser. A systematic investigation of the self-collisional broadening was performed for different gas pressures and temperatures. The temperature dependence of the self-broadening coefficient was determined to beT −(1.02±0.05). Our results are of interest for collisional theory and as reference data in atmospheric monitoring applications.
