Jonasz M. 2007. Absorption coefficient of water: Data sources (www.tpdsci.com/Tpc/AbsCfOfWaterDat.php). In: Top. Part. Disp. Sci. (www.tpdsci.com). 			
			
DATA OF:			
Hale G. M., Querry M. R. 1973. Optical constants of water in the 200-nm to 200-µm wavelength region. Appl. Opt. 12, 555-563.			
			
			

NOTES:			
m' - real part of the refractive index (m = m' - im")
m" - imaginary part of the refractive index (m = m' - im")
All DATA have been obtained by the data authors for the following conditions:
m' - via the subtractive Kramers-Kronig analysis of the imaginary part of the refractive index	
m" - by manually smoothing a graph of m"(lambda) obtained from and/or calculated from light absorption data of other researchers.
			
The absorption coefficient, a, has been calculated by MJ from the imaginary part, m", of the refractive index published therein, by using the following formula: a(lambda) = 4 PI m"(lambda) / lambda, where lambda is the wavelength of light.			
			
			
			

Underscore (_) marks the absence of or incomplete data		
Each column is separated by a TAB - when you import the file into a spreadsheet all column headings should be aligned with the columns of numbers.
