摘要:
The invention concerns apparatus for detecting radiation emitted from a quantity of gas, said apparatus comprising a chamber containing a predetermined amount of a given component of said gas having absorption lines in a band of the emission spectrum, means for cyclically varying the pressure of said component in said chamber, and detector means adapted to provide an output signal which is dependent on the radiation intensity wavelengths of the absorption lines or at predetermined wavelengths in the region thereof, said wavelengths being such that the absorption coefficients of the gas at all detected wavelengths are substantially the same, and the radiation is known to originate predominantly from a particular region of the said quantity of gas.
