Abstract

The vibrational-rotational absorption spectrum of water vapor was recorded and analyzed in the visible spectral region from 19480 to 20500 cm−1. The measurements were carried out using an IFS-125M Fourier spectrometer with a resolution of 0.05 cm−1 at a pressure of 26.3 mbar, a temperature of (24 ± 1)°C, and optical path 24 m. We used a multipass White cell with a base length of 60 cm. A light-emitting diode was used as a radiation source. The signal-to-noise ratio was about 20000. The list of more than 420 lines has been compiled as a result of the analysis the spectrum, which includes line centers, intensities, and quantum vibrational-rotational numbers. More than 220 vibrational-rotational energy levels of 21 upper vibrational states have been determined from the experimental data.
