Figure 3.13: Process <strong>of</strong> Obtaining a Transmission Spectrum. For optical spectroscopy in <strong>the</strong><br />

infrared spectrum, it is customary to work with wavelength λ and wavenumber<br />

σ (= 1/λ). The expression (S)/(B) indicates <strong>the</strong> ratio <strong>of</strong> sample and background.<br />

Combined Measurement Setup<br />

Both analysis devices were coupled according to Figure 3.14 to become one<br />

unit with <strong>the</strong> chemiluminescent NO x analyzer downstream <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> FT-IR spec-<br />
