Abstract
Pulsed source thermal lens measurement on CO2 and CO2/Ar, CO2/N2, CO2/CO gaseous mixtures are reported. A theory relating the thermal lens signal to the V-V and V-T energy transfer processes in the mixtures has been developed and applied to interpret the measurements. The occurrence of convergent and divergent thermal lens signals related to endothermic and exothermic effects in the gas have been quantitatively explained.
