Abstract
Experimental spectral lines of pure oxygen at 1270nm band were analyzed by Voigt deconvolution method. The method gave a total Voigt profile, which arises from two overlapping bands. Deconvolution of total Voigt profile leads to two Voigt profiles, the first as a result of O2 dimol at 1264nm band envelope, and the second from O2 monomer at 1268nm band envelope. In addition, Voigt profile itself is the convolution of Lorentzian and Gaussian distributions. Competition between thermal and collisional effects was clearly observed through competition between Gaussian and Lorentzian width for each band envelope. Voigt full width at half-maximum height (Voigt FWHM) for each line, and the width ratio between Lorentzian and Gaussian width (ΓLΓG−1) have been investigated. The following applied pressures were at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 8bar, while the temperatures were at 298K, 323K, 348K, and 373K range.
