However, measurement results can be affected by optical noise when applied to an atmospheric tunnel or glass cuvette. The noises (occurring in the form of periodic fringes in the recorded spectrum) come from unexpected interference of the light beams reflected from surfaces of the windows or other optical elements. The method of their suppression is described in this article. It is based on wavelength modulation and signal averaging over the fringes period. Also, an experiment confirming the usefulness of this method is described here.}, type={Article}, title={Reduction of optical noise in near-infrared range laser hygrometry}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/127367/PDF/art11_int.pdf}, doi={10.24425/mms.2023.144402}, keywords={hygrometer, laser, absorption spectroscopy, optical interference}, }
