The high resolution absorption spectrum of methane has been recorded at liquid nitrogen temperature by differential absorption spectroscopy between 6717 and 7351 cm−1 (1.49–1.36 μm) using a cryogenic cell and a series of distributed feed back (DFB) diode lasers. The investigated spectral region corresponds to the very congested low energy part of the icosad for which the HITRAN database provides neither rovibrational assignments nor the lower state energies. The positions and strengths at 81 K of 9389 transitions were obtained from the spectrum analysis. The minimum value of the measured line intensities (at 81 K) is on the order of 10−26 cm/molecule. From the variation of the line strength between 81 K and 296 K, the low energy values of a total of 4646 transitions were determined. They represent 79.4 % and 68.4 % of the total absorbance in the region at 81 and 296 K, respectively, and include 28 transitions assigned to the ν2+4ν4 band near 6765 cm−1. The reliability of the method based on the association of lines with coinciding centers in the 81 K and 296 K spectra is discussed. The results of the present analysis have been combined with previously analyzed high energy part of the icosad dominated by the ν2+2ν3 band near 7510 cm−1. The line list for the whole icosad (6717–7655 cm−1) consists of 12 865 transitions at 81 K.
