Abstract
Measurements of the absorption by pure CO2 in the 4.3 μm region are presented. They refer to the temperature of 291 K and densities in the 1–80 amagat range. Calculations based on the addition of Lorentzian contributions strongly overestimate the absorption since they do not account for line overlapping. The energy corrected sudden approximation (ECSA) is used to model line mixing within the impact approximation. The scaling parameters of this model are deduced from line-broadening data. This calculation strongly underestimates the absorption in the spectral region near the edges of the vibrational band, whereas it overestimates the absorption in the far wings of the lines. This is attributed to the impact approximation which does not account for the frequency dependence of the relaxation operator. This dependence is roughly determined from our results; it is in good qualitative agreement with the few corresponding available results.
