We report the first measurement of sub-Doppler molecular response using a frequency comb by employing the comb as a probe in optical-optical double-resonance spectroscopy. We use a 3.3 mu m continuous wave pump and a 1.67 mu m comb probe to detect sub-Doppler transitions to the 2 nu(3) and 3 nu(3) bands of methane with similar to 1.7 MHz center frequency accuracy. These measurements provide the first verification of the accuracy of theoretical predictions from highly vibrationally excited states, needed to model the high-temperature spectra of exoplanets. Transition frequencies to the 3 nu(3) band show good agreement with the TheoReTS line list.
