ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for the photo-optical measurement of the absorption behavior of solid, liquid and gaseous media. A measurement light beam from an optical radiation source is made intermittent by a rotating chopper comprising a rotatable metal wheel. The chopper frequency is maintained constant by regulation of the speed of the metal wheel by two alternating-current magnets inducing eddy currents to slow or speed up the wheel. The actual speed of the wheel is detected and compared with a reference speed and the magnitude of the excitation currents is adjusted on the basis of the rotatory speed difference to effect the regulation of the speed of the chopper.
