Intensities and pressure-broadened widths of CO2 R-branch lines at 15 μm from tunable laser measurements

Intensities and half-widths of individual lines, over the temperature range 200–325°K in the 15 μm bands of ¹²C¹⁶O₂, have been determined with a tunable diode laser spectrometer. Measurements were made on pure CO₂ and on dilute CO₂-in-N₂ mixtures on the R-branches of the 01¹0-00⁰0 and 02²0-01¹0 transitions. Intensities are approximately equal to those listed in the AFGL compilation. The pressure-broadened half-widths follow the general relationship $\text{b}{}_{\mathrm{L}}{}^0\text{(T) = b}{}_{\mathrm{L}}{}^0\text{(T}{}_0\text{) [}\text{T}{}_0\text{T}\text{]}{}^{\mathrm{n}}$ where n varies considerably from line to line but is always greater than $\text{1}\text{2}$.
