The acetylene molecule is important for atmospheric, planetary, and astrophysics applications. In order to improve the knowledge of C₂H₂, systematic measurements of line parameters have been performed. Two main spectral regions have been studied in this work. First, in the 13.6-µm region, line intensities were revisited for the ₅ band and determined for some hot bands, allowing us to update the HITRAN database. Second, in the 5-µm region, numerous line parameters, including positions, intensities, self-broadening coefficients, and self-shifting coefficients of lines belonging to 18 bands were measured for the first time. Intensities were also measured for some new lines in the 4.5-µm region, and a good agreement was observed between previous measurements. Concerning the 3-µm region, where two cold bands were already analyzed for positions and intensities, but where the intensities of numerous hot lines are missing in HITRAN, a study is in progress, and preliminary results will be presented.
