    Abstract: A method of determining a concentration of a gas in a sample and/or the composition of a gas using a spectrometer comprises the transmitting of radiation whose wavelength substantially continuously runs through a wavelength range, wherein the continuous running through of the wavelength range is overlaid by a wavelength modulation; the measuring of an absorption signal from the absorption of the radiation by the gas as a function of the wavelength of the radiation; the converting of the absorption signal into a first and a second derivative signal; the deriving of a first measured gas concentration value from the first derivative signal and of a second measured gas concentration value from the second derivative signal; and the determining of the concentration and/or the composition of the gas from at least the first measured gas concentration value, wherein the wavelength modulation is adapted in response to a change of a state variable of the gas such that a ratio between the first measured gas concentration value and the second measured gas concentration value is kept substantially constant.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for operating, particularly in the field, a Raman spectroscopy device that includes a laser, a spectrograph, an intensified charge coupled device (ICCD), and an autofocus subsystem. Before spectral data acquisition commences a series of ancillary data checks is performed to monitor operating conditions of at least the laser, the ICCD, and the autofocus subsystem. Further, after each Raman spectrum acquisition, a series of data quality checks is performed to enhance confidence in the just collected data. Only spectral data that passes the data quality checks are further processed. However, all spectral data are stored in a log file. When the log file reaches a predetermined capacity, the log file is closed, and a new round of ancillary data checks is performed to again monitor the status of the Raman spectroscopy device.
