Abstract: A waveguide for conveying light with an input end and an output end to supply for an electromagnetic spectrometer includes: an input end having a convex envelope of a cross-section of the waveguide at the input end, which envelope defines a circular shape or a shape of a regular polygon with n1 corners, wherein n1 is a natural number bigger than 3; an output end having a cross-section that defines a slit shape; and a plurality of filaments, wherein an arrangement of the plurality of filaments defines the cross-sections at the input and output ends, wherein each filament includes a core and a reflective coating covering a lateral area of the core, wherein the core includes an optically transparent material.

Abstract: A method for determining an amount of a Raman-invisible gas in a multi-component gas stream includes performing a first and second absolute Raman analysis on the gas stream. A decrease in the absolute Raman bands from the first analysis to the second analysis is attributed to an increase of the Raman-invisible gas in the gas stream. The amount of the Raman-invisible gas is calculated from the difference between the first and second sets of Raman bands. The calculation of the Raman-invisible gas is verified via a measurement and a calculation of a secondary property of the gas stream such as the thermal conductivity of the gas stream or the density of the gas stream.

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.
