A comparative study of the effects of different buffer gases on the line shape of water vapour rovibronic transition

摘要

The line shape parameters of water vapour rovibrational transition at 12145.444 cm~(-1) belonging to the (2v1 + v2 + v3) overtone band in the presence of three buffer gases He, N2 and CO2 are studied by high resolution near infrared (NIR) diode laser spectrometer. The wavelength modulation spectroscopy (WMS) is adopted to probe buffer gas broadened first derivative (1 f) signal of water vapour transition. The simulation of the experimental signals based on Voigt profile provides the collisional broadening coefficients and line strength parameters. The comparison is made between the broadening effects on water vapour transition induced by He, N2 and CO2.
