During 1978 the empirical calibrations were completed by shock-heating mixtures of hexamethyethane in argon at temperatures near 1000 K. These data, combined with the higher-temperature D/sub 2/-N/sub 2/O-Ar data and correlated using mathematical functions based on the line shapes, have led to dependable calibration curves for both H and D over a wide temperature range. H and D atom concentrations have been made for mixtures of H/sub 2/-O/sub 2/-Ar, D/sub 2/-O/sub 2/-Ar, CD/sub 4/-Ar, CD/sub 4/-O/sub 2/-Ar, and C/sub 3/H/sub 8/-Ar, and absorption measurements made for O/sub 2/-Ar mixtures.
