Abstract

The fluorescence of NO was obtained by excitation from the 184.9 nm resonance line of a low pressure mercury lamp. It was found that the β (v′=9) emission was induced by the absorption of the 184.9 nm line for [NO]=1.0 torr. Quenching of the β (v′=9) bands by He or N₂ molecules was accompanied by an enhancement of the γ bands, v′=4 or 0 and 1, respectively. When CO was added to NO, intensities of the emission were weakened. These effects were explained by the following reaction scheme.
