This information was used to find the transient gas temperature when operating at known pressure. The laser was a 4 W argon ion operating on all lines at a total power of about 2.5 W. The theoretically predicted photon arrival rate at the photomultiplier tube detector was calculated and compared well with the observed photon rates. These rates were high enough that sampling could be averaged over a 1 s period with theoretical uncertainty due to electronic shot noise below 0.1%, and below 2% for a 0.001 s averaging time.
