Research and Development of Techniques for Measuring the Infrared Absorptance of the Fundamental Vibration-Rotation Band of NO(+).

Abstract

The ultimate goal of this program of research was to measure the strength of the fundamental vibrational-rotational band of NO(+) which is centered at about 4.3 micrometer (2325/cm) in the infrared. A theoretical analysis was made of the fractional absorptance of monochromatic radiation by the fundamental vibrational-rotational band of NO(+). Equipment constructed or partially constructed for this project included a high-vacuum pumping station, pressure gauges, a gas-handling manifold, as gas purification system a radio-frequency generator, an infrared source and chopper assembly, a lead-selenide detector assembly, two photomultiplier-tube units, a long path length white cell, and parts of a data acquisition system. A PbS(x)Se(1-x) diode-laser system would be required to observe the absorption in NO(+) at low pressures.
