ABSTRACT:
The disclosed gas analyzer (10) provides two separate folded optical paths (16 and 18) from a single source (12) to a single detector array (14) via a polychromatic filter (26). One optical path (16) passes through a sample gas chamber (24) containing a gas to be analyzed and the other path (18) passes through a reference chamber (30) containing a reference gas. On each optical path (16 or 18), radiation from the source (12) is collected by upstream optics (22 or 28) to form a converging beam (16b, c or 18b, c), thereby reducing or eliminating the need for collection optics at the detector array (14).
