The absolute number density of ground state oxygen atoms, O (3 P), present in a 100 mTorr oxygen plasma has been determined as a function of operating power using cavity ringdown spectroscopy (CRDS). The dissociation fraction increases by an order of magnitude from∼ 0.8% at 50 W to 8% at 250 W and reflects a similar increase in the electron density over this power range. Emission spectra show that the E–H switchover is accompanied by increased rotational heating of O 2 and this behaviour is also observed in the translational temperatures determined by fitting the Doppler limited O (3 P) CRDS data. The measurements are contextualised via a volume averaged kinetic model that uses the measured absolute densities of O (3 P) and O 2 (a 1 Δ g, v= 0) as a function of power as its benchmarks. Despite the inherent spatial inhomogeneity of the plasma, the volume averaged model, which uses a minimal set of reactions, is able to both reproduce previous measurements on the absolute density of O− and to infer physically reasonable values for both the electron temperature and number density as the E–H switch over is traversed. Time-resolved emission measurements return a value of 0.2 for the wall loss coefficient for O 2 (b 1 Σ g+); as a consequence, the number density of O 2 (b 1 Σ g+) is (at least) one order of magnitude less than O 2 (a 1 Δ g).
