TY - JOUR ID - citeulike:6071671 L3 - citeulike-article-id:6071671 N2 - Using the laser-based technique of cavity ring-down spectroscopy extinction measurements have been performed in various gases straightforwardly resulting in cross sections for Rayleigh scattering. For Ar and N 2 measurements are performed in the range 470–490 nm, while for CO 2 cross sections are determined in the wider range 470–570 nm. In addition to these gases also for N 2 O, CH 4 , CO, and SF 6 the scattering cross section is determined at 532 nm, a wavelength of importance for LIDAR applications and combustion laser diagnostics. In O 2 the cross section at 532 nm is found to depend on pressure due to collision-induced light absorption. The obtained cross sections validate the cross sections for Rayleigh scattering as derived from refractive indices and depolarization ratios through Rayleigh's theory at the few %-level, although somewhat larger discrepancies are found for CO, N 2 O and CH 4 .
