Cross sections for the production of CO(a′ 3Σ+, d 3Δi, and e 3Σ− → a 3Π) fluorescence through photodissociation of CO2

Cross sections for the production of CO(a′ 3Σ+, d 3Δi, and e 3Σ− → a 3Π) fluorescence through photodissociation of CO2 have been measured from 764 to 923 Å using a line emission source. The CO fluorescence spectra produced in the photodissociation are presented and identified. The cross sections for the production of fluorescence from various vibrational levels of CO* using incident photons of 901 and 923 Å are also presented.
