ISOTOPOMER ABSORPTION SPECTRAL ANALYZER AND ITS METHOD

摘要

An isotopomer absorption spectral analyzing apparatus and its method for precisely measuring the isotope ratio by substantially equalizing the absorption signal levels of different species of isotopes. In an isotopomer absorption spectral analyzing apparatus, a sample cell (21) capable of providing optical paths of different optical lengths is installed, optical beams A, B are caused to enter the sample cell (21) and travel along paths of different optical lengths, thereby determining the abundance ratio between species of isotopes in molecules from the ratio between intensities of signals corresponding to the species of isotopes.
