SPIE is the international society for optics and photonics founded in 1955 to advance light-based technologies. Serving more than 188,000 constituents from 138 countries, the Society advances emerging technologies through interdisciplinary information exchange, continuing education, publications, patent precedent, and career and professional growth. SPIE annually organizes and sponsors approximately 25 major technical forums, exhibitions, and education programs in North America, Europe, Asia, and the South Pacific.
The temperature dependence of the high frequency far wings of the self-broadened CO2 lines has been investigated in the 2400–2600-cm-1 spectral region. The temperature dependence of the corrective shape factor X(σ,T) is demonstrated for the first time.
