Abstract:
The proposed method is related to the field of technical physics, in particular, to spectral methods for determining the elemental composition of liquid media using an electric discharge in the liquid as a source of spectra. The method can be implemented in devices for determining elemental composition of liquid media. The areas of application include water treatment systems at public water supply facilities, nuclear and thermal power industries, chemical industry, food industry processes (for water quality control), environment monitoring, etc. The technical result of the invention is a higher stability and reproducibility of measurement results and a better long-term operation reliability of the device. The proposed method for emission analysis of elemental composition of liquid media includes initiation of a local electric discharge in the liquid under analysis with the formation of a current-carrying channel in the volume of a diaphragm opening made in a member of the electrolytic cell structure, and detection of the generated emission spectra of the chemical elements being determined. The result is obtained due to the fact that the elements being determined are first deposited in the current-conducting channel volume at a current insufficient for initiating a local electric discharge, then the current direction is changed and its magnitude is increased for initiating a local electric discharge, and the emission generated in the liquid being analyzed is detected as emission spectra of the elements being determined. The deposition current intensity can be selected according to elements to be determined and their concentration in the liquid.

Abstract:
A non-invasive method for determining a concentration of a gas component in a gas mixture contained in a spacing of a glass unit having at least two glass sheets spaced apart from each other and forming said spacing. One or more light beams is applied at an angle to the surface of said glass unit, wherein the wavelength of the emitted light beam is varied around or over the at least one absorption line of the interest gas component. The light beams transmitted through or reflected from at least one surface or interface locating at the opposite side of the spacing are collected by a detector and non-linear variations in the intensity of the t transmitted or reflected light beams over an absorption line of the interest gas is then component determined. The concentration of the gas component to be measured is determined based on said non-linear variations in the intensity.

Abstract:
A sample analysis system comprises a laser unit and a spectrometer unit. The laser unit emits a first laser pulse and a second laser pulse towards the sample with a pulse separation time of between about 1 microsecond to 20 microseconds. The laser unit includes an oscillator unit which is configured to generate the first laser pulse and the second laser pulse. A pre-amplifier unit is configured to receive the first laser pulse and the second laser pulse and increase the energy levels of each pulse prior to the pulses being emitted from the laser unit. The spectrometer unit captures emissions generated by the sample after the sample is stuck by the first and second laser pulses and identifies the elemental constituents of the sample using the emissions.

This realizes a spectroscopic measurement apparatus, a measurement method, and a measurement program which can reduce the effect of stray light generated in a spectrometer.
