The temperature dependence of the line intensity and of the pressure broadened width of the 619.68 nm absorption line in the Delta v(CH) = 6 overtone rotational-vibrational band of methane is studied experimentally. Measurements are performed in the temperature range between 77 and 296 K and with H2, N2, and He as foreign-gas collisional partners. Absorption spectra of methane at low temperatures and with a variety of pressure conditions are recorded by intracavity laser spectroscopy (ILS) to obtain large (0.7-60 km) equivalent absorption pathlengths. The line intensities and pressure broadening coefficients determined here demonstrate that quantitative spectroscopic data can be derived from a lineshape analysis of ILS data. The significance of these results with respect to observational spectroscopy of planetary atmospheres is discussed.
