Abstract

The cavity-ringdown technique is applied to measure Rayleigh extinctions of Ar, ${\mathrm{N}}_2$, and ${\mathrm{SF}}_6$ in the 560–650-nm region at 294 K. It is shown that experimental and calculated Rayleigh scattering cross sections agree within an experimental uncertainty of 1% (for ${\mathrm{SF}}_6$, 3%).
