Patent number: 8094313Abstract: A method and system for measuring the concentration of a gas component in a measuring gas a provided. The wavelength of a light source is modulated with a modulation signal at a modulation frequency, while the wavelength is swept over an interaction feature of a sample. The intensity of the light source is further modulated at a wavelength outside the interaction feature with a burst signal, where an N-th harmonic of the burst frequency coincides with an M-th harmonic of the modulation frequency. The light is passed to the sample and thereafter to a detector. The detector output is demodulated at the M-th harmonic, and the demodulated detector output is normalized by calculating the ratio between a demodulated detector output portion derived from the light modulated with the modulation signal and another demodulated detector output portion derived from the light modulated with the burst signal.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2008Date of Patent: January 10, 2012Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Pawel Kluczynski, Stefan Lundqvist, Per-Arne Thorsén
