    Abstract: A novel enhanced infrared spectral light source employing gas discharge, to be designated hereafter as EISLS, and a detection system using such an EISLS lamp for gas detection of a given molecular gas, the lamp adapted to produce spectral radiation at selected, sharply defined, spontaneous emission frequencies in the infrared corresponding to an absorbing molecular rotation-vibration transition band of the given gas. According to one feature, a gas mixture within the chamber provides an excitable buffer gas and a quantity of the given gas, the buffer gas having a state excitable by the excitation means and matched to the given gas in the manner that energy from the buffer gas state can transfer via collisions to the given gas and excite the upper levels of the absorbing transition band, whereby resultant radiative decay of the upper levels to the lower levels of the absorbing transition band produces the desired selected spontaneous emissions from the given gas, enhanced by the buffer gas. The given gas may be placed in the chamber or may be produced by interactions of other gases and the electrical discharge within the chamber.According to another feature, in such an EISLS spectroscopic lamp which produces spontaneous emissions corresponding to an absorbing band and other undesired spontaneous emissions as a result of excitation of other levels, the parameters being selected to make the desired emissions have a decay time long relative to the decay time of the undesired emissions, means are provided to interrupt the excitation means periodically and to delay the utilization of emission from the lamp a time following the instant of each interruption to the period when the other levels and associated emissions are decayed and the given gas continues to emit at the desired transition.According to another feature an EISLS spectroscopic lamp which produces sharply defined spontaneous emissions corresponding to an absorbing band of a given gas is arranged to direct its emission along a detection path in which the given gas may appear, and is combined with means to provide a modulated magnetic field either in the detection path to cause modulation of the absorbing transitions of paramagnetic gas to be detected or in paramagnetic emitting gas in the lamp to cause frequency modulation of the emitted spectral radiation, and an electronic detection means is provided, responsive to the resultant modulated intensity reaching the detector, to enhance the detection sensitivity.

    Abstract: Means for detecting a component of an atmosphere comprises a source of radiation and a detector arranged so as to receive and be responsive to radiation through said atmosphere from the source, the intensity of the radiation from the source increasing rapidly with respect to wavelength just below the peak of an absorption band of the chosen component, and the response of the detector decreasing rapidly with respect to wavelength just above the peak of the absorption band. Selection of source, detector and radiation filters allows detection of one component, such as methane or carbon monoxide, without falsification of the result by another component such as carbon dioxide.

    Abstract: An infrared radiator for use in infrared analyzers includes a ceramic platelet having a front surface and a rear surface. A thin heating resistance layer is deposited on the front surface. A thin temperature measuring layer deposited on the rear surface provides a signal proportional to the platelet temperature. The signal is amplified and supplied to a sensing and control device which regulates the electrical power supplied to the resistance layer from a variable power supply whereby the platelet is maintained at a constant temperature. The platelet may be enclosed in a housing having a radiant energy transmitting window opposite the resistance layer. Electrical leads connected to the resistance layer and temperature measuring act to support the platelet in the housing.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a photometer (30) for analysing the composition of a sample gas. The photometer comprises an infra-red (IR) source (20) configured to direct a first plurality of pulses (40) of IR radiation through the sample gas to an IR detector (26), at least two of the first plurality of pulses being of different wavelength. The photometer further comprises an ultraviolet (UV) source (32) configured to generate a second plurality of pulses (38) of UV radiation for conveyance to a UV detector (36), at least two of the second plurality of pulses being of different wavelength. A path selection arrangement (22, 42-50) is configured to selectively convey different ones of the second plurality of pulses (38) to one of the sample gas and the UV detector (36). The photometer further comprises processing circuitry coupled to the IR source (20), the UV source (32), the IR detector (26), the UV detector (36) and the path selection arrangement (22, 42-50). The processing circuitry is configured to (i) select the wavelength to be used for a given UV pulse of the second plurality of pulses (38), (ii) receive a plurality of detection signals from each of the IR detector (26) and the UV detector (36) and (iii) based on the detection signals, determine a concentration of at least one component of the sample gas. A method for analysing the composition of a sample gas is also disclosed.
