Abstract

Transmittance and absorbance data in the form of a spectral atlas have been obtained from Fourier transform spectra recorded on a commercial (Bomem DA3) instrument, operated with an external white light source injected through the instrument's `emission' port. The sample was a sealed, evacuated cell containing a small quantity of 130Te. This cell was placed in a ceramic furnace maintained close to 620 °C, with tellurium vapor pressures 8-11 Torr. The data are intended as an aid to spectral calibration in the blue-green to violet region. The data relate to work published in J. Mol. Spectrosc. 384 111,589 (2022).
