title: Cavity-Ring-Down Spectroscopy on Water Vapor in the Range 555-604 nm.
abstract: The method of pulsed cavity-ring-down spectroscopy was employed to record the water vapor absorption spectrum in the wavelength range 555-604 nm. The spectrum consists of 1830 lines, calibrated against the iodine standard with an accuracy of 0.01 cm(-1); 800 of these lines are not obtained in the HITRAN 96 database, while 243 are not included in the newly recorded Fourier transform spectrum of the Reims group. Of the set of hitherto unobserved lines, 111 could be given an assignment in terms of rovibrational quantum numbers from a comparison with first principles calculations.
