Broadening and shifting of the depolarized component of the Raman Q branch in D2 at room temperature

Abstract
We report the first direct measurement of the broadening and shifting of the depolarized component of the Raman Q branch in D2. Spectral data were recorded from 1.5 to 12 amagat at 305.2 K. Both the measured broadening and shifting of the depolarized component are significantly different from that for the polarized Q branch. These results can be used as a check of theoretical calculations when they become available. Here they are used to correct previously reported values of the broadening of the polarized part of the Q-branch spectrum. Measured values of the ratio of the depolarized to polarized intensity for the Q-branch lines are also given.
