Spectrophone Measurement of the Water Vapor Continuum at DF Laser Frequencies

Abstract

A laser-illuminated spectrophone is used to measure the absorption of water vapor at six DF laser lines of interest. These measurements are related to the absorption coefficients of CH4, N2O, HDO, and the known line structure of H2O to infer the extinction coefficient arising from the water vapor continuum in the region 2550-2750/cm.
