THE IODINE LAMP: A LIGHT SOURCE FOR SELECTIVE EXCITATION OF CO,

Abstract

A light source was developed for photochemical studies which emits the 2062 A line of iodine. This lamp was used to study reactions of CO excited in the a3II level. Carbon monoxide was irradiated in an experimental lamp incorporating an arrangement of concentric cylinders. The output of this lamp was 2x10 to the 18th power quanta per second. The CO a3II molecules react to form CO2 with a quantum efficiency between a few tenths and unity. (Author)
