Spectral line-shapes of oxygen B-band transitions measured with cavity ring-down spectroscopy

Abstract

Results of line-shape measurements of self- and N2-broadened P9 P9 transition of the oxygen B band are presented. Spectra were acquired using the optical frequency comb- assisted Pound-Drever-Hall-locked frequency-stabilized cavity ring-down spectrometer (PDH- locked FS-CRDS). In the line-shape analysis the line narrowing described by Dicke narrowing or/and the speed dependence of collisional broadening were taken into account. The multispectrum fitting technique was used to minimize numerical correlations between line-shape parameters. Collisional broadening and shifting coefficients are reported with sub-percent uncertainties. Influence of the spectral line-shape model used in data analysis on determined line intensities and collisional broadening is discussed.
