Abstract
The measurement of very weak overtone spectroscopic line shape of water molecule is performed using wavelength modulation spectroscopy (WMS). In this work a high resolution near infrared diode laser spectrometer is used to record first derivative (1f) signal of buffer gas Helium and Carbon dioxide broadened water vapour transitions around 820 nm wavelength region. The effect of collision due to perturber pressure on signal to noise ratio (SNR) is discussed. The Lorentzian HWHM of observed 1f signal is calculated. The comparison is made between collisional broadening of water vapour transition broadened by inert gas Helium and high quadrupole moment active gas Carbon dioxide.
