ANALYSIS OF SOME OZONE LINES OF THE $v_{3}$ BAND WITH A TUNABLE DIODE LASER SPECTROMETER

Abstract

Ozone is one of the more important minor constituents of the Earth's atmosphere and the vibrational-rotational spectra of $^{16}O_{3}$ are the subject of numerous high resolution studies. A tunable diode laser spectrometer has been used at the Reims GSMA laboratory to record high resolution spectra of ozone in the $10 \mu$m region. To deduced high precision ozone parameters, a good precision concentration control of the ozone amount is necessary. This has been done using ultra-violet techniques. The intensities of some ozone lines belonging to the $v_{3}$ band have been studied and the results will be presented and discussed.
