The ratio of line strengths for the two argon transitions, 3p{sup 5}({sup 2}P{sub 1/2}{sup o})4s[1/2]{sub 1}{sup o}{yields}3p{sup 5}({sup 2}P{sub 3/2}{sup o})4p[3/2]{sub 2} at wavelength 922.7 nm and 3p{sup 5}({sup 2}P{sub 1/2}{sup o})4s[1/2]{sub 1}{sup o}{yields}3p{sup 5}({sup 2}P{sub 3/2}{sup o})4p[5/2]{sub 2} at wavelength 978.7 nm, is measured in an argon pulsed discharge with the use of a single-mode Ti:sapphire laser. The result 3.29(0.13) is in agreement with our theoretical prediction 3.23 and with a less accurate ratio 2.89(0.43) from the NIST database.
