Rovibrational intensities for the Δv=1 bands of the X 3Σ− NH radical: Experiment and theory

Abstract
The vibrational transition dipole moment for the highly reactive radical species, NH, in its ground electronic state is obtained via the Herman–Wallis effect manifest in emission spectra produced in a plasma reactor. The results of these experiments on the five lowest Δv=1 bands, are in good agreement with high quality ab initio calculations of the electric dipole moment function.
