Abstract

The absorption of water molecules in glow discharge plasma in moist inert gases with reduced pressure is studied by diode laser spectroscopy. A non-axial scheme with an external resonator is used, which allows the determination of kinetic temperature from Doppler broadening in order to obtain the partition function of water molecules, required for estimating the concentration of particles under non-equilibrium conditions.
