Measurements of linestrengths, N2-, Ar-, He-and selfbroadening coefficients of acetylene in the 4+5 combination band using a cw quantum cascade laser
KAUST Repository
AbstractLinestrengths, N 2 -, Ar-, He-and self-broadening coefficients of acetylene have been measured at 296 K in the P branch of the ν 4 +ν 5 combination band for 25 rotational transitions. The effect of gas temperature is studied over 296 -683 K for five transitions to allow the determination of the temperature dependent exponent n for N 2 -and Ar-broadening coefficients. These measurements were performed using a continuous-wave quantum cascade laser (cw-QCL) operating over 1253 -1310 cm -1 . Spectroscopic parameters were obtained by fitting absorption spectra using Voigt, Galatry and Rautian profiles. Linestrength and broadening results are compared with previous studies available in literature for the ν 4 +ν 5 combination band and other vibrational bands of acetylene.
