title: Refractive index of nitrogen, water vapor, and their mixtures at submillimeter wavelengths.
abstract: Molecular masers have been used to measure the refractive index of nitrogen, water vapor, and their mixtures at wavelengths of 337micro, 311 micro, and 28 micro. A discrepancy between the new measurement and microwave values for pure nitrogen is at present unexplained.
