Abstract

The anomalous continuum fluorescence and absorption spectra of $NO_{2}$ is interpreted as resulting from the coupling between the excited electronic states and high-lying levels of the ground electronic state which are ergodic in nature. This behavior is intimately related to the anomalous lifetime lengthening (the Douglas effect), and is proposed to account for similar anomalous continua in $CS_{2}$ and $SO_{2}$.
