Acetylene is considered to be an important molecule for spectroscopic research due to its role in environmental chemistry, astrophysics, biochemistry and photochemistry of various planets. The high resolution spectroscopic studies of acetylene (12C2H2) in the 6474–6515 cm−1 spectral range have been performed using in-house developed external-cavity diode laser absorption spectroscopy technique. The study is focused on experimental measurement of self-broadening coefficients (γself) and line intensities of 27 l-doublet ro-vibrational lines belonging to the P-branch transition of ν1 + ν3 + ν4 – ν4 hot band lying in the 6474–6515 cm−1 spectral range. The γself and line intensity have been retrieved by modelling of each experimentally observed rotational line with standard Voigt line profile using custom written python based computer program. The measured γself and line intensities were compared with the values present in HITRAN2020 database, showing mean difference of about -1.9% and 2.48%, respectively. In contrast to the line intensity, where rotational and symmetry dependency are readily visible, γself exhibits only rotational dependency. The l-type doubling constants of both ν1 + ν3 + ν4 and ν4 states of ν1 + ν3 + ν4 – ν4 hot band have also been obtained. Detailed understanding of these molecular parameters will play an important role in modelling of planetary atmospheres.
