Abstract

An interferometric device for the detection of substances having a periodic or quasiperiodic absorption structure of their absorption spectrum includes a source of radiation, a chamber containing the material to be investigated and a downstream detector, a thermo-optically effective and temperature controlled interference filter means is interposed, its thickness determines the spacing of interference transmission lines and temperature control shifts these lines.
