Abstract
The recent development of high resolution spectrographs for exoplanetary research in the visible range makes suitable an improvement of our knowledge of the high resolution spectrum of methane. In this contribution, the weak and highly congested absorption spectrum of methane in the 10 800-14 000 cm-1 region (0.71-0.93 μm) is considered on the basis of (i) an exhaustive review of the literature over the lasts decades, (ii) the analysis of a spectrum recorded at Kitt Peak by Fourier transform spectroscopy at room temperature, (iii) a very high sensitivity spectrum recorded by cavity ring down spectroscopy near 760 nm. The line list retrieved from the Kitt Peak spectrum includes 12 800 lines between 10 802 and 13 922 cm-1. Together with the CRDS line list in the 13 060-13 300 cm-1 interval (about 2650 lines), the reported FTS dataset represents the first high resolution extensive intensity measurements of methane for wavenumbers above 11 502 cm-1. A very good agreement between our Kitt Peak line list and HITRAN list is found in the 10 800-11 502 cm-1 interval. The "quasi-continuum" absorption background underlying the congested spectrum around 11 200 cm-1 is quantitatively evaluated to about 42% of the absorption by CH4 lines. Previous laser-based investigations are critically reviewed by comparison to the FTS and CRDS experimental data retrieved in the present work. The review of the studies of the minor isotopologues (13CH4, CH3D, CH2D2, and CHD3) is also presented. Intensity comparison with band models used for planetary applications is discussed and confirms the importance of the "quasi-continuum" absorption in the methane spectrum at room temperature. The comparison to the TheoReTs line list obtained by ab initio calculations gives valuable hints for future assignments but the TheoReTS line positions are not sufficiently accurate for application to high resolution exoplanetary spectra in the region. From the various comparisons and results obtained in this work, we conclude that the high frequency absorption spectrum of methane deserves to be revisited by modern cavity-enhanced absorption techniques to fulfil needs both for future analysis of high resolution exoplanetary spectra and for theoretical analysis.

Abstract
We present a robust, compact, and transportable instrument that measures the iodine monoxide atmospheric radical at extremely low concentration, down to 40 ppqv (parts per quadrillion by volume, 1:1015). As nitrogen dioxide is strongly absorbed in the same spectral region it could be simultaneously measured down to 4 pptv (parts per trillion by volume, 1:1012). Relying on “mode locked cavity-enhanced absorption spectroscopy,” the instrument makes use of a free-running commercial femtosecond Titane Saphir laser. We demonstrate that this multiplex detection scheme provides shot noise limited spectra for acquisition times as long as 5 min. Moreover, this instrument is very versatile as it can be potentially tuned from the infrared to the ultraviolet (1080-340 nm) to reach various molecular absorptions. It has been recently deployed at the Station Biologique de Roscoff on the North West Atlantic coast of France.

Abstract
We demonstrate the possibility of measuring parts in 10(12) by volume concentrations of radicals of high atmospheric interest, such as IO or BrO, as needed for monitoring these species in the environment. We apply cavity-enhanced absorption spectroscopy in the near UV range using a frequency-doubled Ti:Sa mode-locked femtosecond laser. Efficient broadband injection of a high-finesse cavity is obtained by matching this optical frequency-comb source to the comb of cavity transmission resonances. A grating spectrograph and a detector array disperse and detect the spectrum transmitted by the cavity carrying the absorption features of intracavity molecules. Spectra recorded over ~4 nm with 10 s averaging display a noise level of 8 x 10(-10)/cm.

Abstract
A femtosecond mode-locked laser is used for what is believed to be the first time as a broadband infrared source for high-resolution Fourier transform absorption spectroscopy. A demonstration is made with a Cr(4+):YAG laser. The entire nu(1)+nu(3) vibration-rotation band region of acetylene, observed after passing through a single-pass 80-cm-long cell, is simultaneously recorded between 1480 and 1600 nm, in 7.9 s with a signal-to-noise ratio equal to 1000. Two hot bands of the most abundant acetylene isotopologue and the nu(1)+nu(3) band of the (13)C(12)CH(2) are also present. Replacement of the usual conventional tungsten lamp by the bright laser source reduces by about a factor of 150 the recording time needed to get similar results. The noise equivalent absorption coefficient at 1 s averaging is equal to 7x10(-7) cm(-1)Hz(-1/2) per spectral element.
