Résumé : Line intensities and self-broadening coefficients in the ν1 + 3ν1 band of 12C2H2 near 0.8 μm at room temperature were measured by means of both laser photoacoustic and Fourier transform spectroscopy. An experimental protocol has been developed to obtain absolute intensities from the photoacoustic measurements. Namely, the spectrometer was calibrated using water vapour line intensities available in Hitran 1996 [L. S. Rothman et al. (1998) J. quant. Spectrosc. Radiat. Transfer, 60, 665-710]. These photoacoustic line intensities were found to be on average 5% higher than corresponding measurements performed using Fourier transform spectroscopy, the accuracy of the latter being estimated to better than 4%. The accuracy of the photoacoustic intensities is discussed. Previous results from the literature [F. Herregodts, D. Hurtmans, J. Vander Auwera, and M. Herman (1999) J. chem. Phys., 111, 7954-7960] are revised.
