Intensity measurements for the /2, O/ gamma-band of O2, b 1Sigma-g/+/ - X 3Sigma-g/-/

Line intensities for the P sub P and P sub Q branches of the (2-O) vibrational band of the magnetic dipole electronic transition for the oxygen red system at 6280 A were measured, and the sum of the R sub R and R sub Q branch intensities was taken. A large number of repetitive spectral scans were required for accuracy, because of low absorption values even at optical path lengths from 300 to 600 m. A total of 557 individual measurements of P-branch lines yielded an intensity value for the P-branches, and equivalent widths for 24 spectral scans yielded an intensity value for the R-branch. R-branch to P-branch intensity ratios were taken for the A-band, B-band, and gamma-band (respectively, O-O at 7620 A, 1-O at 6880 A, and 2-O at 6280 A). Intensities for some rotational lines are found, and effects of combined rotation-vibration interaction are probed.
