Abstract

Preliminary results of a high resolution spectroscopic study of the pressure dependence of the Raman vibrational Q-branch spectrum of pure CO are reported. Measurements are made at room temperature over the pressure range 0.5 to 6 atm. The technique of quasi-cw inverse Raman spectroscopy utilizing a pulsed single-frequency laser source is employed. This approach gives enhanced sensitivity compared to earlier work which employed cw lasers, allowing extension of that work to higher accuracy, higher J states, and higher pressure. The goal of this work is to test the accuracy of a modified exponential-gap rate law model which is used to predict the pressure dependent spectra.
