Abstract: Surface light-induced drift of a low-pressure gas results from velocity-selective optical excitation combined with state-dependent molecule-surface interaction. This effect has been studied for CH3F and OCS, rovibrationally excited by a CO2 laser, interacting with various surfaces. For the R(4, 3) transition of 13CH3F, an increase in tangential momentum accommodation coefficient α upon excitation is found ranging from δα = 1.0 × 10-3 for stainless steel to δα = 14 × 10-3 for LiF(100) at 295 K. For this transition, the effect was also studied as a function of temperature for a quartz surface, resulting in a 40% decrease of δα as the temperature is raised from 300 to 700 K. Experiments for the P(5) transition of OCS yield δα = -0.53 × 10-3 on a quartz surface at 295 K.
