Early afterglows of N 2 and N 2 ‐O 2 flowing microwave discharges are characterized by optical emission spectroscopy. The N and O atom and N 2 (A) metastable molecule densities are determined by optical emission spectroscopy after calibration by NO titration for N‐atoms and measurements of NO and N 2 band intensities for O‐atoms and N 2 (A) metastable molecules. By using N 2 tanks with 50 and 10 ppm impurity, it is determined in the afterglow an O‐ atom impurity of 150‐200 ppm. Variations of the N and O‐atom and N 2 (A) metastable molecule densities are obtained in the early afterglow of N 2 –(9·10 –5 –3·10 –3 )O 2 gas mixtures. (© 2013 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
