Comments: Absorption coefficients k0(m-1 100 kPa-1) of SF6 and of its main gaseous by-products SF4, SOF2 and SO2F2 were 
measured in the VUV region. The experiments were carried out at a temperature of 298 K and a spectral resolution of 0.1 nm over 
the wavelength range 115-180 nm for SF6, 115-220 nm for SF4, 120-195 nm for SOF2 and 120-210 nm for SO2F2.
Between 118 and 220 nm, SF4 presents a much greater absorption than SF6 with values of k0 between 8.9 x 10^4 m-1 and 5 m-1.
Clear peaks are at 123, 135.9 and 182.5 nm.
