Line parameters of HDO from high-resolution Fourier transform spectroscopy in the 11500-23000 cm-1 spectral region

This work presents new measurements of HDO line parameters in the near-infrared and visible regions (11 500-23 000 cm-1). The measurements consist in high-resolution Fourier transform absorption spectra of H2O/HDO/D2O vapor mixtures, obtained using a long absorption path. Spectra with and without nitrogen as the buffer gas were recorded. Due to the simultaneous presence of the three isotopologues H 2O, D2O, and HDO, the H2O lines removal and the D2O lines identification were two necessary preliminary steps to derive the HDO line parameters. The D2O contribution was small and confined to the well-known 4ν1 + ν3 band. An extensive listing of HDO spectroscopic parameters was obtained, for the first time, by fitting some 3256 observed lines to Voigt line profiles. The list contains calibrated line positions, absorption cross-sections and, for many of the lines, N2-broadening coefficients, as well as N 2-induced frequency shifts. As a result of the low HDO vapor pressures, it was not possible to retrieve the self-broadening parameters. The list is available on the http://www.ulb.ac.be/cpm website. © 2005 Elsevier Inc.
