USSR The line strengths of Hz0 bands v, + vz + q and v2 + 2~ have been measured using a highresolution Nd-glass single-mode laser spectrophotometer. The parameters of 33 lines were found by fitting a Voigt contour to experimental line profile. The vibration-rotation interaction affecting the line strength was taken into account by using the F factor in the three-parametric form, and its constants for v, + v2 + s, and vz + 2~ bands were found. There is a good agreement between line intensities calculated using these constants and the experimental values. & 1985 Academc Press. Inc. I. INTRODUCTION

A wide range of problems in spectroscopy, atmospheric optics, and astrophysics require precise knowledge of the fine structure of the vibration-rotation spectra of water vapor. Until recently, only a few papers are known (1-4) in which the H20 absorption spectra in the 1-pm region were measured. In Ref. (I) weak lines of the water vapor bands v2 + 2v3, vl + v2 + v3, and 2vi + v2 were observed in the solar spectra due to absorption by the Earth’s atmosphere. The positions of the strongest Hz0 lines in the region 8050-9370 cm-’ were measured using the Fourier spectrometer with a spectral resolution of 5 - 10e3 cm-’ in Ref. (2). Several water vapor absorption lines in the range of 9241-9455 cm-’ were recorded using the intracavity laser spectrometer with an effective absorption length of 10 km in Ref. (3). It should be noted that. as distinct to line positions, absolute strength measurements were made only for a few of the absorption lines of the solar spectrum in the region 92209243 cm-’ (4). This paper presents the results of the absolute line strength measurements of the v2 + 2~3, vI + v2 + 5, and 2vi + v2H20 bands using the high-resolution laser spectrophotometer, which has been described earlier (5). The line strengths obtained were processed to find the dipole moment matrix element parameters for vibrationrotation interactions. II. EXPERIMENTAL

DETAILS

The high-resolution laser spectrophotometer was developed on the basis of the running-wave ring-cavity Nd-glass laser with frequency continuously tuned during a generation pulse (6). The instantaneous spectral line width of the laser was extremely narrow (less than 2 MHz) and was tuned during the generation pulse up 173

to 0.7 cm- ‘. The total spectral range of generation (9240-9500 cm-‘) was covered from pulse to pulse by turning a dispersion prism in the laser cavity. The line position of the laser generation was controlled using the grating spectrometer with an accuracy of 0.08 cm-‘, while the precise frequency measurements (0.001 cm-‘) were carried out using a thermostatic evacuated Fabry-Perot interferometer which has a base length of 103.5 mm. The laser generation strongly depends on absorption of atmospheric air inside its cavity: thus, such a laser should operate as an intracavity spectrometer (7). To eliminate this effect the laser cavity was evacuated; this enabled us to obtain smooth laser pulses even if strong atmospheric absorption lines were in the tuning frequency range of the laser. The spectra have been recorded using the gas sample contained in a 3-m-long “White-type” multipass absorption cell set for a 280-m pathlength. The temperature control was conducted with an accuracy of 0.5 K and the gas pressure was determined with a precision of 2%. The intensity of the light beam incident on the absorption cell was about 100 times lower than that of the output laser beam so that, as simple estimations showed, nonlinear absorption effects and gas sample heating certainly did not occur at the given experimental conditions. The line shape was assumed as a Voigt profile:

(1)

Here v is the running frequency, v. is the center of the absorption line, S is the line strength, P is the homogeneous (impact) halfwidth, KS is the Boltzmann constant, T is the gas temperature, and m. is the mass of the absorbing molecules. The values of the parameters S, P, and vo, as well as the confidence intervals AS, AP, and Avo for 95% probability level have been obtained by least-squares fitting. It was revealed that about 30 points for each experimental line shape were required to provide the accuracy of the line strength measurements AS/S N 10%; and two or three scans were used to obtain the actual values of the parameters. While processing the overlapping spectral lines, the number of experimental points Ki(Vi) was doubled and the absorption coefficient K(Y) was regarded as a sum of expressions (1) with independent parameters. The spectral line width of the laser was about two orders of magnitude less than the Doppler width of the investigated absorption lines; that enabled us to neglect the effect of instrumental function of the spectrometer on the measured data. High resolution of the spectrophotometer provided for reliable separation of the overlapping lines of the water vapor at wavenumbers 9343.6, 9325.1, and 9257.1 cm-‘, recorded at the water vapor pressures, PHzo of 17.1, 14.5, and 2.7 Torr, respectively (Fig. 1). The positions of the strongest lines of each doublet and their assignments were taken from Ref. (2). The positions of the weaker lines of doublets were measured using the Fabry-Perot interferometer with a 0.001 cm-’ accuracy relative to the stronger lines.

It should be noted that in the Fourier transform spectrometer measurements (2) only a doublet at 9343 cm-’ was resolved. The obtained wavenumber separation of the line in this doublet was Au = 0.0396 + 0.005 cm-‘: this differs somewhat from our measurements, Au = 0.0337 f 0.0020 cm-‘. III. DETERMINATION

OF INTRAMOLECULAR

PARAMETERS

In order to obtain a reliable interpretation of the experimental spectra one should take into account intramolecular interactions. At present, powerful theoretical methods of calculation of vibration-rotation molecular spectra are available, and they are based on the idea of constructing effective rotational Hamiltonians (8-12). These methods enabled one to simplify significantly the expression for a total vibration-rotation wave function and to describe precisely the spectra observed. In particular, due to these methods a good agreement between the experimental and theoretical line intensity values of the pure rotational spectrum, fundamental, and first overtone HZ0 bands was reached, using the conventional treatment of the perturbation theory both in the form of contact transformation (13-16) and in the projector form (8, 17. 18). One of the variants of the projector calculation technique was used in this paper for analyzing the measured Hz0 absorption line intensities (8, II). In this case, the matrix element of dipole moment in the first approximation of the perturbation theory in the absence of resonance interactions can be written as I( V’R’IMIVR)IZ = (CY’+ pm + rC(K)/C)? *L, where (Y’= CI+ ( Vl&.lLV);

The experimental values of H20 absorption line intensities (18 lines of the v2 + 2v3 band and 6 lines of the v1 + v2 + v3 band) obtained in this paper were used for determination of (Y, 0, and y parameters. Since six lines of the vI + v2 + v3 are insufficient for reliable statistical processing, additional line strengths of v, + v2 + v3 band from Ref. (4) were used. The results of fitting by the least-squares method are given in Table I. In spite of a relatively small number of lines used in the fitting, the parameters of vibrationrotation interaction were obtained with good accuracy. The representation (2) of the matrix element of the dipole moment can be regarded as satisfactory. Table II gives the intensities of Scale.using a’, 0, and y parameters in comparison with the experimental ones (Sex&, with the intensities s T,T,,and data from the 1982 version of the Air Force Geophysics Laboratory compilation and Ref. (20). The values of Scale.obtained using expression (2) are in good agreement with the experimental data, including the lines noted in Table II by (*), which were not used in the fitting. As may be noticed from Table II, the model of rigid rotator is not applicable with the investigated bands since it leads to errors in the line strengths up to 100%. This conclusion is in agreement with the theoretical estimations of the influence of regular vibration-rotation interaction on the line intensities made in Ref. (19). The parameters 01’, ,f3, and y can be used for determining the third
