Abstract
The absorption cross sections at the chemical-iodine-laser frequency for methane and carbon dioxide in an atmosphere of dry air were determined with a photoacoustic cell to be (8 ± 2) × 10−24 and (5.4 ± 0.4) × 10−25 cm2, respectively. A multipass absorption cell and a Fourier-transform spectrometer were used to obtain a cyclopropane absorption cross section of (3.47 ± 0.02) × 10−24 cm2 at 14 076 cm−1 for the photoacoustic-cell calibration.
