Water-vapor absorption lines in the ν2 band involving transitions between states of high rotational energy have been found to undergo substantial collisional narrowing in the presence of buffer gases. Measurements were carried out near 5.35 μm, using tunable lead sulfide selenide semiconductor diode lasers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
