Abstract: A spectrometer includes a light source that emits a beam into a sample volume comprising an absorbing medium. Thereafter, at least one detector detects at least a portion of the beam emitted by the light source. It is later determined, based on the detected at least a portion of the beam and by a controller, that a position and/or an angle of the beam should be changed. The beam emitted by the light source is then actively steered by an actuation element under control of the controller. In addition, a concentration of the absorbing media can be quantified or otherwise calculated (using the controller or optionally a different processor that can be local or remote). The actuation element(s) can be coupled to one or more of the light source, a detector or detectors, and a reflector or reflectors intermediate the light source and the detector(s).

Abstract: A spectrometer cell can include a spacer, at least one end cap, and at least one mirror with a reflective surface. The end cap can be positioned proximate to a first contact end of the spacer such that the end cap and spacer at least partially enclose an internal volume of the spectrometer cell. The mirror can be secured in place by a mechanical attachment that may include attachment materials that are chemically inert to at least one reactive gas compound, be thermally stable above at least 120 °C, and be capable of holding an optical axis of the reflective surface in a fixed orientation relative to other components of the spectrometer cell and or a spectrometer device that comprises the spectrometer cell. The mirror can optionally be constructed of a material such as stainless steel, copper, aluminum, alumino-silicate, ceramic, or the like. Related methods, articles of manufacture, systems, etc. are described.

Abstract: A method is disclosed which comprises maintaining a scrubber medium at a temperature in a range of -20°C to 85°C, the scrubber medium comprising nanoparticles of a reactive metal oxide material having first aerodynamic diameters of less than 250 nm that are adhered to carrier particles having second aerodynamic diameters in a range of 10 to 250 microns and that are inert relative to one or more background compounds, wherein a mass ratio of the reactive metal oxide to the carrier particles is in a range of 20% to 30%, and wherein the nanoparticles of the reactive metal oxide are adhered to the carrier particles by one or more of van der Waals and electrostatic forces. In a further step a gas mixture is contacted with the scrubber medium while the scrubber medium is maintained at the temperature, the gas mixture comprising a reactive compound and the one or more background compounds, the reactive compound comprising a gas-phase acid, the contacting causing the reactive compound to react with the reactive metal oxide material to convert the reactive compound and at least one metal oxide site on the nanoparticles to one or more metal-anion surface compounds. An apparatus, a composition and a refreshing method are also disclosed.

Abstract: An energy content meter can spectroscopically quantify oxidation products after oxidation of a combustible mixture. The measured oxidation product concentrations or mole fractions can be converted to an energy content of the un-oxidized combustible mixture using a conversion factor that relates oxygen consumption during oxidation of the combustible mixture to the energy content of the combustible mixture.

Abstract: A differential absorption spectrum for a reactive gas in a gas mixture can be generated for sample absorption data by subtracting background absorption data set from the sample absorption data. The background absorption data can be characteristic of absorption characteristics of the background composition in a laser light scan range that includes a target wavelength. The differential absorption spectrum can be converted to a measured concentration of the reactive gas using calibration data. A determination can be made whether the background composition has substantially changed relative to the background absorption data, and new background absorption data can be used if the background composition has substantially changed. Related systems, apparatus, methods, and/or articles are also described..

Abstract: A system includes a light source, a detector, at least one pressure sensor, and a control unit. The light source emits light at a wavelength substantially corresponding to an absorption line of a target gas. The detector is positioned to detect the intensity of light emitted from the light source that has passed through the target gas. The pressure sensor detects the pressure of the target gas. The control circuit is coupled to the detector and the light source to adjust the modulation amplitude of the light source based on the pressure detected by the at least one pressure sensor. Related systems, apparatus, methods, and/or articles are also described.

Abstract: A frequency registration deviation is quantified for a field spectrum collected during analysis by a spectroscopic analysis system of a sample fluid when the spectroscopic analysis system has deviated from a standard calibration state. The field spectrum is corrected based on the frequency registration deviation using at least one spectral shift technique, and a concentration is calculated for at least one analyte represented by the field spectrum using the corrected field spectrum. Related systems, methods, and articles are described.
