Abstract

In a spectrophotometer for measuring the concentration of a specific substance, a pulsating (modulated) source of radiation gives rise to an alternating current component, a direct current component and a dark signal component in a measurement signal. The response time for changes in the concentration of the specific substance is reduced while the measurement signal's signal-to-noise ratio is simultaneously improved when the pulsation frequency is from 50 to 1000 Hz, and the direct current component in the measurement signal is filtered out for normalization by a reference signal in a signal analyzer so the concentration of the specific substance can be calculated.
