    Abstract: An absorption spectrometer which measures a gas component concentration in a measured gas and which operates via wavelength modulation spectroscopy, wherein the light wavelength of a wavelength-tunable light source is periodically varied over a gas component absorption line of interest and simultaneously sinusoidally modulated with a high frequency and a low amplitude signal, and wherein the measurement signal of a detector is demodulated in a phase-sensitive manner at the frequency and/or a harmonic of the frequency and further analyzed, where modulation starts in each period or each n-th period with the frequency in a time interval before the beginning of the time function and is performed with a higher amplitude than during the time function to demodulate the measurement signal in a phase-synchronous manner, where a device provided for the phase-sensitive demodulation is synchronized during the time interval such that a cable for transmitting synchronization signals is no longer necessary.

    Abstract: There is described an apparatus (2) for measuring an amount of an analyte in a mixture. In one example, the apparatus (2) has a laser source (6) for generating a frequency-modulated laser beam (22). A cavity (36) receives the frequency-modulated laser beam (22) and a photodetector (46) obtains an intensity signal indicative of an interaction between the frequency-modulated laser beam (22) and the mixture. The apparatus (2) has a first demodulator (76) for producing a first demodulation signal. A frequency locking arrangement uses the first demodulation signal to lock a carrier frequency of the frequency-modulated laser beam (22) and a mode of the cavity (36) to each other. The apparatus has a second demodulator (50) for producing a second demodulation signal and for generating, on the basis of the second demodulation signal, an output indicative of the amount of the analyte in the mixture. Other apparatus and methods are described.

    Abstract: An integrated swept wavelength optical source uses a filtered ASE signal with an optical amplifier and tracking filter. This source comprises a micro optical bench, a source for generating broadband light, a first tunable Fabry Perot filter, installed on the bench, for spectrally filtering the broadband light from the broadband source to generate a narrowband tunable signal, an amplifier, installed on the bench, for amplifying the tunable signal, and a second tunable Fabry Perot filter, installed on the bench, for spectrally filtering the amplified tunable signal from the amplifier. A self-tracking arrangement is also possible where a single tunable filter both generates the narrowband signal and spectrally filters the amplified signal. In some examples, two-stage amplification is provided. The use of a single bench implementation yields a low cost high performance system. For example, polarization control between components is no longer necessary.

    Abstract: An emission can be obtained from a sample in response to excitation using a specified range of excitation frequencies. Such excitation can include generating a specified chirped waveform and a specified downconversion local oscillator (LO) frequency using a digital-to-analog converter (DAC), upconverting the chirped waveform via mixing the chirped waveform with a specified upconversion LO frequency, frequency multiplying the upconverted chirped waveform to provide a chirped excitation signal for exciting the sample, receiving an emission from sample, the emission elicited at least in part by the chirped excitation signal, and downconverting the received emission via mixing the received emission with a signal based on the specified downconversion LO signal to provide a downconverted emission signal within the bandwidth of an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The specified chirped waveform can include a first chirped waveform during a first duration, and a second chirped waveform during a second duration.
