Abstract

Measurements have been made of the total absolute integrated intensities of the 4.7-μ fundamental and 2.4-μ first overtone band systems of CO at various temperatures within the range 2500° to 5000°K. The CO gas sample was studied in emission using a reflected shock wave to raise the sample to the high temperatures. Effects of vibrational relaxation, dissociation, and shock structure have been considered in the data interpretation. Within the temperature range used in the present experiments, the integrated intensity of the CO fundamental band system remains constant. However, the integrated intensity of the CO first overtone band system shows a small increase with increasing temperature. The temperature dependencies of the two band systems are in agreement with the theoretical temperature dependencies. The present experimental results for CO extrapolated to STP are 289±29 and 2.3±0.3 cm−2·atm−1 for the total integrated band intensities of the fundamental and first overtone band systems, respectively.
