Induced far-infrared absorption in rare-gas mixtures

Translational collision-induced absorption spectra of five binary rare gas mixtures have been recorded at various densities. The experimental procedure with special control requirements is described first. The binary feature of the absorption is shown to be valid over a large density range. For this particular situation, absorption coefficients and integrated intensity values have been expressed in terms of the product of density units. Finally, a comparison between experimental and theoretical results is discussed.
