✦ Synopsis
Rotationally resolved fluorescence spectra of OH in three different flames and for different excitation levels have been measured and analyzed. The extracted population distributions have been treated with a simple model based on a steady state rate approach. Global parameters such as the ratio of rotational energy transfer and "average" quenching and thermalization degree have been measured. For an exact analysis of the relative population of individual levels, knowledge of the state-to-state cross sections for collisional transfer and numerical programs are needed.
