The influence of elevated temperature on Collision induced absorption in gaseous oxygen (O2-O2) and mixtures of oxygen and nitrogen gases (O2-N2) in the wavelength range of 1.06 μm


Abstract in English

Collisions induced absorption spectra of pure oxygen and gaseous mixtures of oxygen and nitrogen were measured at laboratory and studied, in the region of 1.06 μm, using Cary 5000 spectrophotometer, and White absorption gas cell with a path length fixed at 9.6 m. The mixing ratio of oxygen in nitrogen were 20%, 50% and 80%, at temperature 298, 323, 348, 373 K and pressures between 1 and 25 bar. The absorption band was centered at 1.06 μm, and raised as a wide continuum absorption, and did not show any rotational structure.
