Comments: The vapor-absorption coefficient of several hydrocarbon species at the 3.39-µm He-Ne laser transition has been measured. 
The hydrocarbon species include paraffins, olefins, and aromatics. Results are included for total pressure over the range of approximately 
200-650 Torr at 295 K with air as the buffer gas.
The n-decane absorption cross section at 3390 nm (650 Torr) is sigma = 159000 cm2 mole-1.
