Relative efficiencies of O(1S) production from photodissociation of Co2 between 1080 and 1160 Å

Abstract

Relative O(1 S) emission intensities following the phtotdissociation of CO2 have been measured between 1080 and 1160 Å as a function of incident photon energy at 2–3 Å wavelength intervals with 3.2 Å bandpass. Most of the structure in the absorptionspectrum of CO2 was clearly folowed by the O(1 S) intensities in the range 1098–1160 Å, whereas the structure was not followed below 1098 Å. Relative quantum efficiencies for the photodissociative production of O(1 S) from CO2 were highest in the range 1095–1135 Å and dropped on both sides of this range.
