Abstract: A laser gas analyzer includes a light emitting unit including a laser element configured to emit laser light having a target wavelength band including a wavelength of an absorption line spectrum of the target gas, and a modulated light generation unit configured to supply a drive current to the laser element so that the laser element sweeps and modulates the laser light to have the target wavelength band, and a light receiving unit including a light receiving element configured to receive the laser light passing through the target space and output a detection signal, and a light reception signal processing unit configured to analyze the target gas according to the detection signal from the light receiving element. The light emitting unit and the light receiving unit communicate with each other using the laser light.
