Interaction induced correction to unimolecular absorption
Linear term vanishes in case of dipole forbidden transitions(highly symmetrical molecules such as N2, O2, CO2 etc.).
Quadratic term (binary absorption coefficient) implies the aggregateeffect of the totality of pair states in a gas, no matter be it true dimer,quasibound, or free state.
To reveal partial effect of a selected group of pair states (e.g. dimeror whatever) one has to learn how to partition the phase space oftwo interacting species.
