Laser Atmospheric Absorption Studies

Abstract

This report describes progress on the various tasks which comprise the research in laser atmospheric propagation. This work includes (1) a review of work done on the study of the infrared water vapor continuum, (2) the design of low stainless steel, temperature controlled absorption cells with White-type optics, (3) design of a non-resonant, differential spectrophone and data recorded on this instrument, (4) design of a stainless steel, resonant spectrophone, (5) and other topics.
