Title: Quantitative Studies of HNO3 Vapor Absorption in the 1700–2636-Å Wavelength Region

Journal/Source: Applied Optics, 13 (5), 1202-1208, (1974); doi:10.1364/AO.13.001202


Data: (diagram, table, disk): 

Energy/Wavelength range: 170.0 - 263.6 nm

Resolution: 

Temperature: 295 K

Temperature dependence: 

Pressure/Concentration: 0.0004 - 0.066 atm

Phase (gas, liquid, solid): vapor

pH:


Comments: Quantitative measurements were made in the 1700-2636 Å wavelength interval at 22°C of the pure HNO3 vapor 
absorption spectrum. Absorption coefficients, which were found to be both pressure and length dependent, were determined 
using six absorption cell lengths between 0.1 cm and 10.0 cm, and numerous gas pressures in the 0.0004-0.066-atm range.
