Abstract
A cross-talk balancing circuit for double-beam spectrophotometers is disclosed. The circuit includes means to measure in four successive sample periods the sample plus sample re-radiation (S + s), reference radiation plus reference re-radiation (R + r), sample re-radiation (s) and reference re-radiation (r). The detector, however, does not respond quickly so it introduces cross-talk into each measurement. Electronic phasing circuitry selects the time when the detector output is sampled so that the cross-talk in the measurements is equalized permitting it to be subtracted out of the measurement thereby leaving a remainder which accurately corresponds to the desired quantities S and R.
