SPECTROSCOPY HAVING CORRECTION FOR BROADBAND DISTORTION FOR ANALYZING MULTI-COMPONENT SAMPLES

摘要

A spectroscopic method (100) and spectroscopy system (200) therefrom for analyzing samples (298). A sample includes a first chemical component that has a characteristic first absorption peak is provided (101). The sample is irradiated (102) in a measurement waveband proximate to the first absorption peak, and at a first and a second reference waveband where the first chemical component lacks characteristic absorption features. Reflected or transmitted detection data is obtained (103) including a measured power proximate to the first absorption peak and first and second reference powers at the reference wavebands. A plurality of different waveband ratios are evaluated (104) using pairs of detection data to generate a plurality of measured waveband ratio values. A parameter of the first chemical component is then determined (105) by evaluating a multidimensional polynomial calibration equation that relates the parameter of the first chemical component to the plurality of different waveband ratios by substituting the measured waveband ratio values into the calibration relation.
