ABSTRACT:
An optical cavity for a Non-Dispersive Infrared gas sensor has invented comprising two oppositely arranged parabolic mirrors having common focus located on the common optical axis of the parabolic mirrors, and a plane mirror arranged along the optical axis between the vertex of each of the parabolic mirrors. The NDIR gas sensor has an extended optical path to increase precision and accuracy in the measurement, and substantially increased ventilation opening size to facilitate in and out of the target gas through the optical cavity thereby decreasing the response time required for measuring the gas concentration. The sensors based on the principal of Non-Dispersive Infrared Detection is used the light-absorbing characteristic of gases to measure the amount of light absorption that occur at the specific wavelength absorbed by a target gas and calculate the target gas concentration.
