Compensated Infrared Absorption Sensor for Carbon Dioxide and Other Infrared Absorbing Gases: 6,969,857

Abstract: 

A gas sensor, whose chamber uses filters and choppers in either a semicircular geometry or annular geometry, and incorporates separate infrared radiation filters and optical choppers. This configuration facilitates the use of a single infrared radiation source and a single detector for infrared measurements at two wavelengths, such that measurement errors may be compensated.
