Use of the AFCRL line parameters compilation to test the performance of an infrared spectrometer system
Abstract
The resolution and the frequency accuracy of a spectrum and the abundance of an absorbing gas can be obtained by ratioing observed and calculated spectra. Line positions (to plus or minus 0.002/cm), spectral resolution (0.075 plus or minus 0.003/cm), and a CO abundance (2.35 plus or minus 0.23) x 10 to the -2nd atm-cm (STP) have been found by comparing an observed CO spectrum with a spectrum calculated from the AFCRL line parameter listing.
