Water vapor absorption at isotopic CO2 laser wavelengths

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Water vapor absorption at 161 wavelengths, from 9.2 to 11.9 μm, of the 12C16O2, 13C16O2, and 14C16O2 lasers was measured using a resonant optoacoustic spectrometer. Results were obtained at several precisely determined vapor concentrations in a flow of pure air at a total pressure of 1 atm. Since the same apparatus and methodology were used for all measurements, a reliable assessment can be made of the relative merits of the three lasers in applications such as atmospheric propagation and ranging.
