Isotopic Analysis by Optical Spectroscopy

The paper describes different methods of isotopic analysis for hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen. In the cases of the hydrogen and the oxygen, a light source with high frequency excitation and a Fabry-Perot spectrometer with photoelectric recording were employed. For the nitrogen we used a Zeiss Q-24-spectrograph, or a Zeiss SPM-2 monochromator, converted by us to photoelectric automatic recording instruments. In the last case the method teas extended for determining the nitrogen isotopic concentration in nitric oxide gas.
