Abstract
We propose here to use a neural network as a help in the identification of individual components of a gaz mixture and in the evaluation of the concentration level of each component as they appear in real photoacoustic spectra in presence of background signals and noises. The method is based on the dependance of the activation functions with regard to the input level controled variation and on the desactivation of the first activated outputs.
