Abstract:
Intensities and nitrogen-broadened widths of several low-J lines in the Q-branch of the 15 μm band of CO2 have been determined over the temperature range 200–300 K. Measurements were made with a tunable infra-red diode laser spectrometer having a spectral resolution 10-4 cm-1. Measured intensities are uniformly about 7% lower than available calculations which were based on previous measurements of band intensity. Measured line widths are higher than available calculations and generally followed the relation
