The NO Vibrational Fundamental Band: O2-Broadening Coefficients.

The first measurements of O2 broadening of NO lines is reported. For the NO fundamental vibration-rotation band, polynomial representations for this broadening at 299 K are given for Omega = 32 and Omega = (1/2) e and f transitions, respectively: gamma3/2(|m|) = 0.06463 - 0.00262|m| + 0.000147|m|2 - 0.00000327|m|3, gammaf1/2 (|m|) = 0.06515 - 0.00381|m| + 0.000271|m|2 - 0.00000665|m|3, and gammae1/2(|m|) = 0.06433 - 0.00343|m| + 0.000214|m|2 - 0.00000497|m|3. These broadening coefficients are on the order of 17% smaller than the comparable coefficients found for N2 broadening of NO. Copyright 1998 Academic Press.
