✦ Synopsis

The R(0) line profile of the 13 CO fundamental band is studied at low concentration in helium from room temperature (296.7 K) to 40 K. A narrowing effect due to molecular confinement (Dicke effect) is observed and analyzed using the Galatry soft collision model. The narrowing parameter is found to be in good agreement with the dynamic friction coefficient deduced from the diffusion coefficient over the entire temperature range.
