Experimental Measurement of NO(+) Radiative Lifetime.
Abstract
The location and integrated absorption coefficient of the R-3 line for the v = 1 to v = 2 vibrational transition in NO(+) has been experimentally measured. The location of the line center was determined to be 2327.20 + or - 0.01/cm, 0.07/cm higher than the previosly calculated value. The line was found to be Doppler broadened, giving an integrated absorption coefficient of 240 + or - (+100, -75)/sq cm atm. This value would be consistant with a thermal equilibrium ground state integrated absorption coefficient of 280/sq cm atm, one half the value of previous observations and a factor of 3 higher than theoretical predictions. the accuracy in the ground state equilibrum value is + or - a factor of 2 due to the uncertainity in relative vibrational populations.
