Abstract
Optogalvanic signals in low pressure dc discharges of ammonia have been investigated with a line tunable cw CO2 laser. Signals from excitation of ground as well as excited vibrational states have been studied, using both transverse and axial irradiation of the discharge. The data have been used to provide an estimate of the vibrational and rotational temperatures in the discharge. The vibrational of the signal with the discharge current and sample pressure have been studied for various fundamental and hot band transitions. It is shown that photon enhanced dissociative electron attachment is the principal mechanism for the OG signals in the negative glow region.
