Abstract

The two-photon absorption cross section for the R₂₂ + S₁₂ (J″ = 9½) transition in nitric oxide’s gamma band has been determined. The value is in good agreement with previous measurements on several other NO transitions. The technique described here can be used to obtain accurate cross sections for other diatomic molecules.
