Abstract

A measuring system for measuring absorption or scattering of a medium at a plurality of different wavelengths, whereby the measurements for the different wavelengths are performable as simultaneously and as accurately as possible. The measuring system comprises: a measuring chamber; a transmitting unit, which sends light of its respective wavelength into the measuring chamber; a control, which operates each light source with a different time modulation of transmission intensity for each wavelength; a detector for measuring a total radiation intensity. The total radiation intensity corresponds to a superpositioning of each intensity portion striking the detector for each wavelength; and a signal processing system, which determines for each of the wavelengths the associated intensity portion based on the total radiation intensity measured by detector and the modulations.
