An apparatus and method are disclosed for measuring the concentration of gases that are unstable or difficult contain in a sample cell. A frequency modulated laser is tuned to the frequency of a first spectral feature of a gas of interest and a laser beam is projected through a reference cell containing, at a selected pressure, a selected second gas that has a second spectral feature near the first spectral feature of the gas of interest. The laser is line-locked to an outer zero crossing of a third harmonic of the detected laser beam coincident with the first spectral feature. The concentration of the gas of interest is calculated from a second harmonic of a portion of the laser beam projected through a transmission medium containing the gas.
