Emission from N2 B(3Πg) and O(1S) produced during vacuum uv irradiation of N2O was studied as a function of the wavelength of the incident radiation. Two different processes were responsible for producing N2(B 3Πg) close to its production threshold. One process formed B 3Πg molecules directly and one indirectly via an unidentified precursor having a lifetime ∼27 μsec. The quantum yield of O(1S) atoms produced by photodissociation of N2O was determined as a function of incident photon energy. This yield is near 100% at 129 nm.
