Measured Water Vapor Absorption Coefficients for Two Highly Absorbed CO Laser Lines

Abstract

Previous reports have presented measurements of water vapor absorption coefficients for those CO laser lines which are least attenuated by the atmosphere. This report gives measurements for two CO laser lines (1837. 436/cm and 1872.236/cm), which are highly attenuated by water vapor.
