Abstract
The absolute population of the B3Πg state of molecular nitrogen is calculated from the intensity of electron-vibrational bands of the first positive system. The absolute population of the metastable A3Σu state of nitrogen molecules is calculated based on the solution of the balance equation. It is established that the population of the metastable state of molecular nitrogen increases with a decrease in the pressure and increase in the current intensity of the glow discharge. The results of determining the population of the A3Σu state of nitrogen molecules under conditions of simultaneous excitation of glow and vacuum arc discharges are presented.
