Absolute intensity measurements of the CO2 bands 401-III /backward arrow/ 000 and 411-III /backward arrow/ 010

The absolute intensities of the studied transitions of CO2 have been measured from spectra obtained under high resolution. Vibration-rotation line intensities and integrated band intensities are reported. The studied bands are characterized by origins at 7593.5 and 7584 cm to the minus 1. Spectra were obtained by an Ames' 25-m base path White-type absorption cell equipped with silver-coated mirrors together with a 5-m focal length Czerny-Turner scanning spectrometer. The procedures for calculating the widths and intensities are explained, and uncertainty limits of the reported values are considered.

Absolute intensity measurement of the 4-0 vibration-rotation band of carbon monoxide

The absolute intensity of the 4-0 vibration band of CO is measured in spectra obtained using a 25-m base-path multiple-traversal absorption cell and a 5-m scanning spectrometer. The intensities of individual vibration-rotation lines in this band are determined from measurements of their equivalent widths, and absolute values for the rotationless transition moment and the vibration-rotation interaction factor are derived from the measured line strengths. The experimentally obtained vibration-rotation function is compared with a theoretical curve; agreement between theory and experiment is found to be good for the P-branch but poor for the R-branch. It is noted that numerical solutions to the radial Schroedinger equation lead to vibration-rotation function values that are in good agreement with the experiment.

Spectrum of Al VII in the vuv

The spectrum of Al VII is re-examined in the vuv. A laser-produced plasma is used as a light source. Twenty-four newly classified lines are reported. No new energy levels have been determined.

Vacuum-ultraviolet spectrum of neutral boron /B I/.

Use of a hollow-cathode light source to produce the vacuum-ultraviolet spectrum of B I. One transition is resolved, and four transitions have been remeasured to a higher accuracy than previously because of the sharper lines emitted by the hollow-cathode light source. A revised value for one transition term results from these measurements.-
