Wavelength calibrations in the far infrared (30 to 1000 microns)

Abstract

A discussion is presented of certain calibration procedures employed in the region 30 to 1000 microns. Calculated positions for the pure rotational absorption lines of the CO, HCN, and N2O molecules are given, and a map of the pure rotational absorption lines of the H2O molecule as recorded with a Perkin-Elmer model 301 spectrophotometer is shown.
