Abstract
The oxygen molecule is known to absorb and emit photons by single-molecule transitions as well as cooperatively by pair-molecule transitions or transitions involving O4 complexes.1,2 From the excited singlet states 1Δg(0) and 1Δg(1), near-IR emissions at 1.06 and 1.27 μm take place as shown in Fig. 1, although they are generally weak due to the forbidden nature of the transitions.
