    Abstract: There is described a method for measuring a concentration of a gas component in a measuring gas, wherein the light of a wavelength tunable light source is passed along a single optical path through a measuring volume containing the measuring gas and a reference cell containing a reference gas to a detector. The reference cell is selected to contain a selected isotope of the gas component to be measured in a known abundance ratio higher than the known natural-abundance isotope ratio of the gas component in the measuring volume; the light source is tuned to sweep the wavelength of the light over the absorption lines of the selected isotope and the remaining gas component; and the concentration of the gas component in the measuring volume is calculated from the ratio of the detector signals at the peaks of the absorption lines, based on Lambert's law and taking into account the known abundance isotope ratios.

    Abstract: In spectroscopic devices the sections of an optical measuring path from a light source to a measuring volume containing a measuring gas and from there to a measuring detector are often sealed off from the ambient atmosphere and purged with a purge gas such as dry nitrogen to prevent penetration of atmospheric gas components, such as water vapor, which may interfere with the trace gas measurement. The moisture content in the nitrogen supply is usually in the range of a few ppm at the gas source and can increase dramatically at the measuring site depending on the length of the nitrogen pipe net and due to porosity of the pipe walls, leakage of seals and residual moisture trapped in so-called dead legs. In order to compensate interfering absorption of atmospheric gas components and other impurities in the purge gas the purge gas is collected after flushing the optical path sections, a portion of the light of the light source is transmitted along a second optical path to a compensation detector, the second optical path is flushed with the collected purge gas and the trace gas component in the measuring gas is determined based on a difference between the output of the measuring detector and the output of the compensation detector.

    Abstract: A wavelength modulation spectroscopy method for measuring the concentration of a gas component is provided. A gas sample portion of the light is passed through a reference gas comprising the gas component in a constant concentration. Afterwards, the light is detected by a reference detector. Another portion of the light is passed through the gas sample and thereafter to a measuring detector. The light emitted by the light source is modulated with a frequency, while the wavelength is swept over a molecular absorption line of the gas component. Demodulation of the detector outputs is made at a higher harmonic. In order to compensate for variations of the modulation parameters of the light source in real time, a mathematical description of the demodulated reference detector output based on Fourier analysis of the modulated light and on a mathematical expression for the absorption line is provided.

    Abstract: In a wavelength modulation spectroscopy method for measuring the concentration of a gas component in a gas sample a portion of the light of a tunable light source is passed through a reference gas comprising the gas component in a constant concentration. Afterwards the light is detected by a reference detector. Another portion of the light is passed through the gas sample and thereafter to a measuring detector. The light emitted by the light source is modulated with a frequency fm, while the wavelength is swept over a molecular absorption line of the gas component. Demodulation of the detector outputs is made at a higher harmonic Nfm. In order to compensate for variations of the modulation parameters of the light source (2) in real time, a mathematical description of the demodulated reference detector output (S(υ)N,Ref) based on Fourier analysis of the modulated light (1) and on a mathematical expression for the absorption line is provided, said mathematical description comprising unknown modulation parameters with respect to the modulation of the light (1). Said modulation parameters are determined from the demodulated reference detector output (S(υ)N,Ref) and its mathematical description. In a further step the concentration (cMeas) is determined from the demodulated measuring detector output (S(υ)N,Meas), a corresponding mathematical description of it and the modulation parameters.
