Abstract: A spectrometer including: a laser light source, including a tunable diode laser with a coherent laser output, wherein the laser light source is configured to modulate the frequency of the coherent laser output; a photodetector arranged to receive the coherent laser output; at least one optical element arranged between the laser output and the photodetector; and an evaluation unit electrically connected to the photodetector. The laser light source and/or the first optical element is mounted on a movable carrier, wherein the movement of the carrier is oscillatory and changes the path length of the radiation such that interference signals are suppressed, wherein the suppression occurs due to interference between the radiation emitted from the light source and the change in the path length of the beam path due to the movement on the movable carrier.

Abstract: A method for determining an amount of a Raman-invisible gas in a multi-component gas stream includes performing a first and second absolute Raman analysis on the gas stream. A decrease in the absolute Raman bands from the first analysis to the second analysis is attributed to an increase of the Raman-invisible gas in the gas stream. The amount of the Raman-invisible gas is calculated from the difference between the first and second sets of Raman bands. The calculation of the Raman-invisible gas is verified via a measurement and a calculation of a secondary property of the gas stream such as the thermal conductivity of the gas stream or the density of the gas stream.

Abstract: A gas sensor for determining a concentration of at least one gas in a gas mixture includes: at least one intensity modulatable light source; a measuring section, into which the gas mixture to be investigated can be allowed to flow; and an essentially gas-sealed detection cell, wherein the gas sensor is embodied such that light emitted from the light source is radiated into a measuring section, wherein the intensity of the emitted light is modulated with a modulation frequency, which differs from the resonant frequency of a mode of the acoustic resonance of the detection cell by less than 0.5 times, especially less than 0.25 times, the half-width of the mode. Further, a method for determining the concentration of the at least one gas in the gas mixture uses the gas sensor.
