Abstract
New extinction coefficient measurements are reported for I2 in the region 4200–8000 Å. An argon discharge source is used to estimate the underlying continuum absorption in the banded region. Together with other work these results locate the maximum in the absorption at 4985 Å with a peak extinction of . From the shape of the spectrum the 1u (1Π) potential curve behaves as r−9 in the region of strong absorption. The absorption is found to be a factor of 2 stronger than previous estimates with a peak extinction of at 6730 Å. Earlier indications of a linear dependence of the dipole strength on r centroid for the system are supported in this study. Spectroscopic data for the transition are reviewed and new spectroscopic constants recommended for the B state.
