We report direct measurement of collisional line-broadening coefficients associated with rotational Raman transitions of carbon monoxide (CO), obtained using time-resolved picosecond rotational coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering spectroscopy. The dependencies of the CO self-broadening coefficients on rotational quantum number, J , and temperature are described for the J =3 - 16 lines of S -branch ( Δ J =+2) transitions for T =295 - 600 K at atmospheric pressure. Further, we report collisional linewidths of CO and collision partners N 2 and CO 2 . The obtained S -branch linewidths of self-broadened CO agree well with previously reported frequency-domain experimental spectroscopy results, whereas the mixture-linewidth broadening coefficients differ from reported theoretical results by up to 80%.
