The role of V–V processes in vibrationally excited CO systems in the longitudinal and transverse flow chemical lasers is studied. Initial vibrational energy distributions of CO formed by the O + CS reaction are deduced from chemiluminescent data using calculated values of the vibration energy exchange probabilities. The time evolution of the population distributions is then obtained by computer simulation. The results are compared with experimental measurements. The effects of excess oxygen and of "cold" CO on the population distributions are also discussed.

The BOXCARS technique was used to investigate the vibrational energy transfer between highly excited SF6 and CS2, and for the sensitized photodissociation of CS2. The analysis of data, as reported in our previous studies, to extract vibrational temperature from the CARS signal has been revised in the present work to adjust for the fact that the ground-state population may not be constant. The current investigation suggests that IR laser excitation of SF6 and the energy exchange between excited SF6 and CS2 create a high-lying vibrational energy reservoir in the CS2 vibrational manifold. The rate of energy transfer depends on the partial pressures of SF6 and CS2, and the excitation intensity. The transfer rate shows greater dependence on the partial pressure of SF6 than on the partial pressure of CS2. At higher excitation energies, the energy reservoir leads to photofragmentation products.
