Sub-millimetre Dispersion and Rotational Line Strengths of the Hydrogen Halides

Abstract

To obtain the integrated absorption strength of a narrow spectral line by direct spectrophotometric measurement high resolution is necessary and the resultant profile must be corrected for finite instrumental resolution. As an alternative, dispersion data at much lower resolution may be used to obtain line strengths, and we report some measurements on a few of the low J rotational transitions in the halogen halides.
