title: Absorption of 9.6-micron CO2 laser radiation by CO2 at elevated temperatures.
abstract: Absorption of 9.6-micron CO2 laser radiation by CO2 at temperatures between 296 and 625 K has been measured at a pressure of 200 Torr. Experimental results for the R1O-R26 and P1O-P28 transitions have been obtained and compared with computed values of absorption. The relative optical broadening coefficients due to He and N2 have been measured on the R16-R22 and P16-P22 transitions over the same temperature range.
