Abstract
Direct measurements of the vibrational distribution to v?30 obtained from the first overtone emission from CO in a liquid‐N2‐cooled laser plasma have been made in the presence of varying amounts of O2. These observed distributions show enhanced vibrational populations for small additions and show upper‐level depopulation for larger additions. Both observations support a recent plasma‐kinetic model of the effect of O2 in low‐pressure CO laser plasmas.
