Popis: The pressure broadening parameters g N2 and g O2 of pure rotational transitions of water vapor with nitrogen and oxygen as foreign gases, respectively, were measured with a terahertz time-domain spectrometer (THz-TDS) in the frequency region from 0.5 to 3.5 THz. A White-type multi-pass cell was introduced in the THz-TDS system to precisely measure the absorption spectra of water vapor. The parameters of 36 lines were determined for both N2 and O2, of which 25 parameters for gN2 and 28 parameters for gO2 were the first laboratory experimental data. The quantum number dependence of the parameters was experimentally observed for the first time due to the good signal-to-noise ratio of this system compared with the conventional Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FT-IR) experiments. r 2008 Elsevier Ltd.
