    Abstract: A method for determining an optical pathlength through a cuvette of a spectrophotometric apparatus includes obtaining a first single beam spectrum of a liquid zero-material at least in a first energy region in which the liquid zero-material absorbs at least a portion of incident optical radiation; obtaining a second single beam spectrum of a second liquid at least in the first energy region, the second liquid having a composition excluding the liquid zero-material and having no absorption of incident optical radiation in the first energy region; determining a dual beam spectrum of the liquid zero-material relative to the second liquid at least in the first energy region from the first and second single beam spectra; and calculating an optical pathlength through the cuvette based on processing spectral information obtained from the first energy region of the determined dual beam spectrum.

    Abstract: A method—for measuring an amount of a gaseous species present in a gas—comprises placing the gas between a light source and a measurement photodetector. The light source is able to emit an incident light wave that propagates through the gas to the measurement photodetector. The gas is illuminated with the light source. A measurement intensity, of the light wave transmitted by the gas, is measured with the measurement photodetector. An intensity of a reference light wave, emitted by the light source in a reference spectral band, is measured with a reference photodetector. The illumination and measuring are performed at multiple measurement times, at each of which the gas's absorption of the incident light wave is estimated and an amount of the gaseous species is estimated on the basis of the estimated absorption. Estimating the absorption comprises applying a correction function, that varies over time, to the reference intensity.

    Abstract: A gain switched dual comb spectroscopy device for spectroscopically detecting a sample substance, comprising a first slave laser light source configured to generate a first frequency comb having a first comb free spectral range, and a second slave laser light source configured to generate a second frequency comb having a second comb free spectral range which is different from the first comb free spectral range. A master laser light source is configured to inject seed light in to both slave laser light sources therewith to injection lock the generation of both the first and the second frequency combs. A photodetector part is arranged to combine the first and the second frequency combs and to detect a beat signal the spectrum of which comprises a third frequency comb including beat tones produced by interference between the combined first and second frequency combs. The device comprises a sample detection area configured for receiving the sample for detection and for directing at least one of the first and the second frequency comb to the photodetector part via the sample detection area.

    Abstract: The multispectral detection device comprises first and second photodetectors sensitive to two different wavelengths. The two photodetectors are connected to two integration capacitors of two different readout circuits. Two reset circuits are configured so as to initialise the two integration capacitors separately. A first synchronisation circuit is connected to the first readout circuit and to the synchronisation signal and clock signal generators. The first synchronisation circuit is configured in such a way as to define the frame by detection of a leading edge of the synchronisation signal, count the number of occurrences of a trailing edge of the clock signal, initiate or terminate a data acquisition phase when the number of occurrences of trailing edges is equal to a threshold value recorded in a register of the first synchronisation circuit.

    Abstract: An interference fringe pattern generator forms an interference fringe pattern from the light rays diffused from a region of an object positioned against a background. A planar array of detector pixels is arranged to capture an image of the interference fringe pattern. A storage medium records information indicative of intensity values of the image of the interference fringe pattern captured by a selected group of pixels of the planar array of detector pixels. The information is recorded as a function of the optical path difference values traversed by the diffused light rays through the interference fringe pattern generator for each of the pixels in the selected group of pixels. A processor determines the spectral characteristics of the object based on the information indicative of the intensity values recorded by the storage medium and the optical path difference values traversed by the diffused light rays.
