ABSTRACT:
An entrance aperture of a GFCR system receives light from a scene of interest. The light is focused to form an image at a focal plane. Light associated with a selected field-of-view of the image at the focal plane is then confined to a spectral band at which a gas of interest absorbs. The confined light is split into first and second paths. A calibrating light is selectively produced from within the optical train at the focal plane. A portion of the calibrating light traverses each of the first and second paths. A region that is substantially non-interfering with respect to the spectral band is disposed in the first path. A gas cell filled with the gas of interest is disposed in the second path. The light passed through the region and through the gas cell is independently detected and used to generate output signals indicative of the light so-detected. The output signals are processed with the output signals generated by the light from the selected field-of-view of the image being used to generate a measure of the gas of interest and the output signals generated by the portion of the calibrating light traversing the first and second paths being used to calibrate the GFCR system.
