Abstract

We have studied inert-gas pressure effects on the fluorescence decay in CO selectively excited to the υ = 0 to 7 vibronic levels of the A 1Π electronic state. It is shown that the dependence of the quenching cross section σisc on the average value of the ST mixing coefficient (β2) has a quasi-logarithmic form. A simple two-level model describing semiquantitatively this behavior is proposed.
