Improving Absorption Measurements through Light Source Selection

contributed by Ocean Optics | 04/24/2014

Stray light limits the maximum absorbance level achievable in a spectral measurement. Once the stray light limit is reached, sample dilution or a shorter pathlength is required to measure more concentrated samples. In this Application Note, we show the impact of stray light on absorbance levels and describe how optimizing the choice of light source can minimize stray light and increase the maximum absorbance measured.
