Abstract

The O(1D)+CO quenching process has been reinvestigated using time-resolved diode laser absorption to probe the time dependence of the collisionally induced CO vibrational population distribution. The absolute electronic-to-vibrational energy transfer efficiency was determined to be 25+8, −5%, in good agreement with a previously reported value. Nascent vibrational populations for CO (v=0 to 4) were determined and a vibrational temperature of ∼5000 K was measured.
