Abstract

In a single beam photometer the transmitted radiation is modulated in respect of wavelength. As the modulator, an interference pattern filter is used, whose transmitted wavelength agrees in the middle approximately with the absorption band to be measured. The interference pattern filter is either arranged so as to be rotatable in the beam path or oscillates at right angles to the optical axis. The electronic system is tuned to the first harmonic of the interference pattern filter frequency; i.e. the effects of signals of other frequencies are suppressed by the electronics.
