The shapes of the self- and N2-broadened v3 CO2 fundamental vibration-rotation band in the microwindows (troughs between the lines) have been measured at various temperatures. Important deviations with respect to the superposition of Lorentzian profiles are observed. These deviations are interpreted in terms of line coupling, which redistributes the intensity in the whole band. In order to take into account this line coupling, two models are considered within the framework of the impact theory. The first model uses the strong-collision approximation to describe the rotational energy transferred by collisions. It leads to a simple analytical expression for the band profile. The second model is based on the exponential-gap law. These two models account well for the frequency dependence of the measured absorption in the microwindows and for the temperature dependence in the case of the N2-broadened CO2 band but not in the self-broadened case. The influence of the line-coupling rotational distribution, which differs significantly in the two models, is discussed. The possible role of the finite duration of collision in rotational energy transfer is examined.
