Abstract: The present disclosure includes an optical head for a spectroscopic device configured to produce a beam of light, a reference signal detector, and a signal detector. A mirror reflects the beam of light from the light source toward a multi-sectioned window having a top side and a bottom side. The bottom side includes an AR coating and the top side has a first section including an AR coating and a second section including a beam splitter with transmittance and reflectance. A first beam path for the beam of light is defined by the mirror, the second section of the multi-sectioned window, and the reference signal detector. A second beam path for the beam of light is defined by the mirror, the second section of the multi-sectioned window, a medium contained in the spectroscopic device, an additional mirror, the first section of the multi-sectioned window, and the signal detector.

Abstract: A gas sensor for determining a concentration of at least one gas in a gas mixture includes: at least one intensity modulatable light source; a measuring section, into which the gas mixture to be investigated can be allowed to flow; and an essentially gas-sealed detection cell, wherein the gas sensor is embodied such that light emitted from the light source is radiated into a measuring section, wherein the intensity of the emitted light is modulated with a modulation frequency, which differs from the resonant frequency of a mode of the acoustic resonance of the detection cell by less than 0.5 times, especially less than 0.25 times, the half-width of the mode. Further, a method for determining the concentration of the at least one gas in the gas mixture uses the gas sensor.

Abstract: A reference material for and a method of calibrating at least one Raman spectrometer are disclosed. The reference material includes quantum dots distributed in a transparent condensed phase material such that light emitted by the reference material in response to receiving excitation light having an excitation wavelength provided by the Raman spectrometer(s) has a predetermined spectral intensity distribution in a spectral measurement range of the Raman spectrometer(s). The method includes designing, manufacturing and providing the reference material, determining an emission spectrum of the reference material, and calibrating each Raman spectrometer by determining a reference spectrum of the reference material and by adjusting a determination of spectral intensity values of intensity spectra performed by the Raman spectrometer based on the reference spectrum and the emission spectrum of the reference material.
