Vibrational Relaxation of HF(v = 1, 2, and 3) in H2, N2, and CO2.

Abstract

The vibrational relaxation times of HF(v = 1, 2, and 3) were measured in H2, N2, and CO2 by a laser-induced fluorescence technique. The upper vibrational levels were produced by sequential absorption in which HF(v = 0) was pumped first to HF(v = 1) and subsequently to HF(v = 2) and HF(v = 3) by photons from a pulsed multiline HF chemical laser. At T = 295 K, the relaxation rates of HF(v = 1), HF(v = 2), and HF(v = 3) in H2 were found.
