Measurements of collisional linewidths in the nu(2) band of H(2)O from Fourier-transformed flame spectra.
The collisional widths of more than 200 transitions belonging to the v(2) band of the H(2)O molecule were measured by using the Fourier-transformed spectra of an air-methane flame at 2000 K. A nonlinear least-squares method was used to determine the line widths for a wide range of J (up to 28) and K(a) (up to 14) quantum number values. Finally, an analysis of the results as functions of J and K(a) is presented.
