Figure 5
Experimental photoabsorption cross section for the mixed-valence Rydberg state [ = ] also known as the longest band of 16O2. In black (solid), FTS data recorded using the MgF2 windowed cell. In orange (dash), blue (dash-dotted): two references from the literature [Lewis et al. (1988) and Lu et al. (2010), respectively] have been included for comparison. The data are digitized from the first reference Fig. 1 and obtained from the MPI-Mainz spectral atlas for the latter one (Keller-Rudek et al., 2013). The FTS cross section is within the claimed precision of the references, i.e. 5% and 10%, respectively. |
