Abstract:

The vibrational and rotational terms of the X2P and A2+ electronic states of the PO molecule have been calculated, as well as the absorption spectrum corresponding to the transition A2+(ν´=0; J´) – X2Π(ν´´=0; J´´) is calculated. The efficiency of laser excitation of PO molecules is estimated as a function of the spectral parameters of the radiation.

Keywords:

absorption spectrum, phosphorus oxide
