H218O spectrum between 13000 and 15500 cm-1

The H 2 18 O spectrum has been recently investigated between 11,300 - 13,600 cm -1 covering the 3v plus (delta) spectral region where v is the quantum of the stretching vibration and (delta) is the quantum of the bending vibration. We present here the study of the 4v and 4v plus (delta) region between 13,000 and 15,500 cm -1 . Spectra of 18 O enriched water vapor have been recorded by means of Fourier-transform spectroscopy. The experimental details have been discussed. The experimental conditions are given.
