Watanabe, M. Zelikoff Title: Absorption Coefficients of Water Vapor in the Vacuum Ultraviolet Journal/Source: J. Opt. Soc. Am., 43, 753-754, (1953); doi:10.1364/JOSA.43.000753 Data: table, diagram Energy/Wavelength range: 106 - 186 nm Resolution: Temperature: 298 K Temperature dependence: no Pressure/Concentration: 0.08 - 8 Torr Phase: vapor pH: Comments: Absorption coefficients of water vapor in the region 1060–1860A were obtained. Oscillator strengths of two continua, 1150-1430A and 1430-1860A, were found to be 0.05 and 0.041, respectively. At Lyman alpha the absorption coefficient was 387 cm-1.
