Abstract

Millimeter wave rotational spectroscopy is described as a diagnostic probe for DC and pulsed discharges in OCS. Tests for rotational equilibria are discussed and the results of these tests as applied to the OCS discharge system described. Rotational, translational, and vibrational temperature have been measured and their time evolution related to diffusion times in the system. Chemical decomposition was studied by Lie monitoring of OCS, CO, CS, and SO spectra in several vibrational states and by chemical analysis of the discharge products deposited on toe wall.
