Summary
Diode laser spectroscopy of water vapour has been performed in the near IR and the pressure broadening coefficients in nitrogen and in air have been measured for one rotovibrational line. Detection of water vapour in the atmosphere has been obtained and an evaluation of the sensitivity of our apparatus is reported. Discussion for further improvements is made.
