Abstract
To take full advantage of recent improvements in the accuracy obtained in collision-induced absorption line shape measurements of the acetylene $\nu_1+\nu_3$ combination band, independent and accurate knowledge of the positions of weaker, overlapping hot band transitions is required. We have used cavity-enhanced saturation-absorption spectroscopy together with a frequency-comb referenced, extended cavity diode laser to determine Doppler-free transition frequencies for the $\nu_4$ and $\nu_5$ hot band transitions in this region . A laser intensity dependent asymmetry in the sub-Doppler saturation line shape is observed, and will be discussed in terms of the intra-cavity beam geometry.
