Abstract
The optical absorption that is due to spontaneous rotational and vibra tional Raman scattering in molecular nitrogen is calculated as a funct ion of wavelength and temperature. At a wavelength of 500 nm and stand ard temperature and pressure, Raman scattering results in an absorptio n coefficient of 1.67 X 10(-11) cm(-1), approximately five times small er than the current experimental detection limit.
