Abstract
By using an optical emission spectroscopy measurement method, the vibrational and rotational temperatures
of nitric oxide molecule are obtained. We detect the radiation lies in γ-band (195 – 340nm) of nitric oxide, which
comes from the A 2Σ to X 2Π electronic transition. We also developed a theoretical calculation for the vibration
and rotation spectrum, with which we can fit the experimental results theoretically, so that the vibrational and
rotational temperature can be determined. Vibrational and rotational-temperature dependent spectra show that
the vibrational temperature mainly has an effect on the particle density and the rotational temperature would
change the peak location of the radiation and contribute to a spectral broadening.
