Abstract

Simulated and experimental spectra of spontaneous Raman scattering of oxygen and nitrogen in air are examined and compared. The experimental spectra were recorded during excitation by pulse lasers with the use of the broadband detection system. The new ratio of the rotational Raman intensity factors for O2 and N2 is found equal to (2.27 ± 5)%.
