Abstract:
A gas concentration measurement device includes a light source that emits infrared light, a detector that detects the infrared light through a band pass filter, and a waveguide including a wave-guiding portion that includes a tubular inner peripheral surface, an entrance that introduces the infrared light from the light source to the wave-guiding portion, and an exit that guides the infrared light that passes through the wave-guiding portion toward the detector. A portion or the entirety of the inner peripheral surface of the wave-guiding portion includes a tapered region that includes a cross section that decreases along a direction extending from the entrance to the exit. The waveguide reflects the infrared light that enters the wave-guiding portion to reduce energy of the infrared light that is obliquely incident on the band pass filter.
