Abstract

Rate constants for collisional transfer between highly excited levels of I₂(X) have been measured. A single vibration-rotation state (v' equals 42, J' equals 17) was populated by stimulated emission pumping. The prepared level, and collisionally populated levels, were detected by laser excitation of the D-X system. Relaxation kinetics were determined by variation of the delay between the dump and probe laser pulses. Collisions with He, Ar, I₂, and O₂ were investigated. Rotational energy transfer rate constants were measured for all collision partners. Vibrational energy transfer ((Delta) v equals 1) was observed for He, and O₂, but this process was immeasurably slow for Ar and I₂.
