Thermal emission from the deep atmosphere of Venus can be detected on the nightside around 2.3 microns. The analysis of this radiation requires a reliable knowledge of the absorption in the far wings of the nearby allowed CO2 bands and of the absorption due to collision-induced bands. Absorption coefficients were measured for pure CO2 at pressures varying from 30 to 60 bars in the frequency range 3910-4570/cm at 297.5 K. Values between 1.0 and 1.6 x 10 to the -7th/cm/sq amagat are found in the 4100-4500/cm interval where emission from the Venus nightside occurs. The comparison of experimental results with synthetic spectra calculated from a line by line code demonstrates that the Lorentzian line shape strongly overestimates the observed absorption, whereas the use of a chi factor extrapolated from the 3800-4000/cm region does not provide enough opacity.
