Determination of the translational-relaxation cross section from the measured Dicke contraction in the coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectra of the D2 molecule
Malikov M. R. , Savel'ev A. D. , Smirnov V. V.
The widths of the Q0 and Q2 lines of the D2 molecule have been measured at various densities over the range from 0.01 to 40 amagat with a resolution of 0.001 cm-1. The translational-relaxation contribution to the line widths has been determined. The cross section for the process has been measured.
