Abstract
A concentration measurement method accurately, quickly, and non-destructively measures the concentration of a predetermined chemical component within an object to a nano-order trace concentration level in real time. A time sharing method irradiates the object light of a first wavelength and light of a second wavelength having different light absorption rates with respect to the object to be measured. Light of both wavelengths that arrives optically through the object is received by a shared light reception sensor, and signals respectively relating to light of the first and second wavelengths are output from the light reception sensor in accordance with the received light. A differential signal of these signals is formed, and the concentration of a chemical component in the object to be measured is derived on the basis of the differential signal.
