Infrared diode laser kinetic spectroscopy of transient molecules produced by excimer laser photolysis: Application to the SO radical - Kanamori, H.; Butler, J.E.; Kawaguchi, K.; Yamada, C.; Hirota, E. (Elsevier)
Excimer laser photolysis has been incorporated with infrared tunable diode laser spectroscopy in order to observe infrared spectra, primarily vibration-rotation spectra, of transient molecules which are difficult to produce by other means such as electrical discharge. The method has been applied to SO generated by the photolysis of SO"2, and the vibration-rotation transitions of SO in the X^3Σ^- state, each resolved into a fine structure triplet, have been identified for the bands of v = 1-0 up to 6-5 and have been analyzed to improve the precision of the vibrational parameters.
