Abstract
In an infrared laser absorption spectrometer, an infrared laser beam of predetermined wavelength, in the infrared absorption spectrum, is beamed into a liquid sample under analysis. Components of the liquid sample absorb energy from the infrared beam, as a function of the infrared wavelength of the beam, to produce heating of the liquid. A thermal detector is disposed in heat exchanging relation with the liquid sample for detecting the heating effect in the liquid due to absorption of the infrared radiation. This detection scheme is particularly useful for monitoring the effluent of a liquid chromatograph as it provides specific detection.
