High-resolution laser absorption spectroscopy of ozone near 1129. 4 cm (-1). Final report, 25 October 1979 - 24 October 1981
A Beer's Law experiment was performed with a tunable diode laser to determine self broadened line shape parameters of one infrared absorption ozone line in the nu1 band for ten pressures from 0.26 to 6.29 torr at 285 K. The SO2 line positions were used for wavelength calibration. Line shapes were iteratively fitted to the Voigt function at a Doppler width of 29.54 MHz (HWHM) resulting in values for the integrated line strength, (S), of (0.144 +/- 0.007) x 10 to the minus 20th/cm molecule/cu cm, line center frequency, nu sub o, of 1129.426/cm and the Lorentzian contributions to halfwidth. A linear least squares fit of (alpha sub L)5 as a function of pressure yielded a zero intercept of 15.27 +/- 0.29 MHz (rho 0.99) and a broadening parameter, (alpha sub L)5, of 5.71 +/- 0.29 MHz/Torr. This results in a line width (FWHM) of 0.144 +/- .007/cm at 760 torr and 285 K.
