Contribution of oxygen to attenuation in the solar blind UV spectral region

The solar blind ultraviolet (SBUV) spectral region covers the interval between 230 and 290 nm. The lower limit of this interval is given by the edge of the Schumann-Runge band and the upper limit is determined by solar radiation penetrating the stratospheric ozone shield. The SBUV region is interest...

description The solar blind ultraviolet (SBUV) spectral region covers the interval between 230 and 290 nm. The lower limit of this interval is given by the edge of the Schumann-Runge band and the upper limit is determined by solar radiation penetrating the stratospheric ozone shield. The SBUV region is interesting from the experimental point of view, since the lack of solar background is favorable in such applications as lidar, atmospheric communications, and remote sensing. The present models (LOWTRAN-6) include as atmospheric attenuators in this region ozone absorption and aerosol and molecular scattering. New theoretical calculations of the Herzberg I oxygen band predict significant absorption by O(2). This prediction is confirmed experimentally in this study. Field measurements at 252, 255, and 264 nm are reported over optical paths of up to 2750 m. Results show that LOWTRAN-6 is inadequate in the SBUV region, as indicated by the present extinction measurements.
