Abstract: A gas sensing system measures a concentration of first and second gasses in a gas sample disposed in a cavity containing a porous scattering material. The first and second gas each have an absorption peak at a different wavelength. First and second emitters emit light having a spectrum that includes one of the different wavelengths. A single sensor, or multiple sensors, detect at least some of the light emitted by the first and second emitters. A processor determines concentration of the first and second gases from signals from the sensor that indicate intensities of the light from the first and second emitters. When a single sensor is used, the first and second emitters are driven, and the sensor signal detected, at different times. When multiple sensors are used, the sensors detect signals at one of the absorption peaks.
