  • Publication number: 20250198917
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a spectrometric measuring method and device for measuring a parameter of a liquid medium in which interferences can occur that include bubbles and/or particles with dimensions larger than wavelengths within a measured wavelength range. In this process, measurement spectra are determined and those for which optical saturation has occurred are discarded. A medium spectrum is determined for each of the remaining measurement spectra. A check is then made to determine whether the measurement spectrum contains an offset caused by an interference by using a predetermined reference for a spectrum property that is expected in the absence of interferences. If an offset exists, the offset is subtracted from the corresponding measurement spectrum. Finally, the medium spectra are used to determine measured values of each measurement variable.

  • Publication number: 20240192127
    Abstract: An optical measuring system for determining a measured variable in a medium includes a light source and a container with medium. The light source radiates measuring light into the container on a first light path, wherein the measuring light is converted into reception light as a function of the measured variable and radiates reference light past the container on a second light path. A diffusion disk is arranged between the container and a receiver, wherein the diffusion disk is configured and arranged such that the reception light impinges on the receiver through the diffusion disk. The diffusion disk is configured such that the reference light impinges on the receiver through the diffusion disk. The receiver receives the reception light and the reference light, and a data processing unit connected to the light source and to the receiver determines the measured variable from the measuring light and the reception light.
