Influence of CO_(2)-laser linewidth on the measured absorption coefficients of atmospheric water vapor and ammonia

摘要

We describe the results of analysis of the experimental and calculated data on the water vapor and ammonia absorption coefficients of CO_(2)-laser radiation. We believe that the different halfwidths of CO_(2)-laser lines, caused by different pressures of the working mixtures in specific experiments, are probably the reason for discrepancies between data presented in various papers.
