Abstract: An infrared spectrometer includes: an openable sealed housing that houses optical components; an infrared light source that irradiates an infrared light into the housing; a dehumidifying agent that dehumidifies an inside of the housing; a thermos-hygro sensor that detects a humidity inside the housing; and a light source control apparatus that controls power supply to the infrared light source. The light source control apparatus: starts the infrared light source while limiting power supply to the infrared light source; determines presence/absence of a risk of condensation inside the sealed housing based on detected value of humidity detected while power is supplied to the infrared light source; if the risk of condensation is present, balances a rate of increase of the detected value of humidity and a rate of decrease of humidity, and at the same time, increases power supply to the infrared light source gradually.
