A system for the calibration of the absolute spectral response of spectrometers is described using a standard reflector -of the type used especially for colour measurements -as a secondary light source. In contrast to conventional light sources for calibrations, the radiance is approximately constant over the whole area of the source, and the angular characteristic is known for a large range of reflection angles p. A special advantage is that the angular characteristic follows closely the Lambert-cosine-law in the region q-45". The radiant flux can be calculated exactly for various experimental conditions, especially for Raman spectroscopy.
A Raman polychromator system is described which makes use of a concave grating, two objectives with f-numbers lower than 1, and a multichannel detector. The system provides a very large optical throughput and should be suitable for analysis of gaseous and liquid samples -especially in cases where the concentration of the compounds investigated is rapidly varying. This is demonstrated by measurements at automobile exhaust gases and by an on -line detection of high -pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC)-fractions.

The theory of the Raman intensity of crystal powders given by Schrader and Bergmann[8] describes the radiation balance of a turbid medium by a scattering module r , an absorptionmodule u and a Raman scattering module s. On the base of this theory the necessary experimental conditions and the evaluation procedure for the determination of absolute Raman scattering cross sections are given.
A Raman multichannel system is described which is feasible for the on-line identification of fractions separated by gas chromatographic columns. In Raman multichannel systems, the sensor, i.e., the laser focus, is small enough and the possible recording times are short enough to avoid any affliction of the separation process, even with capillary columns in use. At the measurements described, capillary columns with a length of 15 m and an inner diameter of 0.25 mm were employed. The detection limit was at about 1 to 10 nl of one fraction corresponding to about 1 to 10% of the total amount of sample suited for capillary columns.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
