Abstract
The absorption of neutral flames species may be detect by measuring current changes induced by photon irradiation at wavelengths corresponding to electronic transitions. This paper presents the first results using the optogalvanic spectroscopy to study molecular absorption. Numerous transitions have been detected for ScO, YO, and LaO in the 360-630 nm wavelength region.
