Water Vapor Continuum Absorption of Carbon Dioxide Laser Radiation near 10 μ

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Laboratory measurements using a stabilized CO2 laser and a 1-km long path absorption cell are presented here for pure water vapor and water vapor–air mixtures. An empirical extinction coefficient equation is presented and used to compute absorption for a variety of atmospheric slant paths. Finally, the laboratory results are confirmed by comparison with outdoor transmission studies over a 1.95-km path.
