We report improved measurements of the temperature-dependent cross sections for the quenching of fluorescence from the AΣ+2(v′=0) state of NO. Cross sections were measured for gas temperatures ranging from 294to1300K for quenching by NO(XΠ2), H2O, CO2, O2, CO, N2, and C2H2. The AΣ+2(v′=0) state was populated via two-photon excitation with a picosecond laser at 454nm, and the decay rate of the fluorescence originating from AΣ+2(v′=0) was measured directly. Thermally averaged quenching cross sections were determined from the dependence of the fluorescence decay rate on the quencher gas pressure. Our measurements are compared to previous measurements and models of the quenching cross sections, and new empirical fits to the data are presented. Our new cross-section data enable predictions in excellent agreement with prior measurements of the fluorescence lifetime in an atmospheric-pressure methane-air diffusion flame. The agreement resolves discrepancies between the lifetime measurements and predictions based...
