Abstract: An apparatus and method of determining the concentration of first and second substances within a sample by exposing the sample to radiation and filtering the radiation transmitted from the sample using a first filter having a number of pass bands at wavelengths corresponding to absorption peaks in a desired quasi-periodic absorption spectrum of the first substance to be detected, and modulating the wavelengths of the pass bands of the first filter. Additionally, filtering the radiation transmitted from the sample using a second filter having a number of pass bands at wavelengths corresponding to absorption peaks in a desired quasi-periodic absorption spectrum of the second substance to be detected, and modulating the wavelengths of the pass bands of the second filter. The concentration of the first and second substances is determined by determining the difference in the maximum and the minimum intensities of the radiation transmitted by the sample.

Abstract: A non-dispersive near infrared light is used for detecting analyte gases in a testing zone. A sample obtained from the testing zone is irradiated with a reference light and with test lights. The test lights are emitted in sequence and modulated to be out of phase with the reference light. Frequencies of the test lights are in the absorption bands of particular analyte gases, with the reference light frequency being outside of the absorption bands. Analyte presence in the sample is identified by sensing changes in differences over time of test light and reference light intensity. Before irradiating the sample, the lights are optically conditioned by aligning them on the same path, and splitting the bandwidth of some lights for detecting analytes with overlapping absorption bands.
