High Resolution Spectral Survey of Molecular Absorption in the DF Laser Region - Measurements and Calculations
Abstract
The investigation has a threefold objective: (1) Provide the data base from which predictive laser propagation modeling parameters can be extracted; (2) identify and quantify inadequacies in the current modeling parameters; and (3) determine the sensitivity of altitude and meteorological scaling to the modeling parameters. All three of these objectives are addressed in this interim report. The impact of predictive analysis on temperature and altitude scaling is discussed. The propagation of the P(1)(9) and P(3)(8) DF lines are predicted as specific examples of the nature of the altitude and temperature scaling problem. Also studied were spectral measurements on HDO, CH4 and N2O. Line absorption are presented and comparisons are made with current predictive calculations (i.e., synthetic spectra). A specific application to P(1)(7) propagation is discussed in the context of the HDO measurements.
