Abstract
A combustion-zone chemical sensing system () is disclosed that includes pitch reflective optics () that collimate MIR electromagnetic energy from an input fiber (), a reflector (), catch reflective optics () that focus reflected MIR electromagnetic energy into an output fiber (), and a detector () to detect MIR electromagnetic energy from the output fiber. An optical head () for sensing a combustion zone () is disclosed that includes pitch reflective optics () that collimate MIR electromagnetic energy from an input fiber () towards a reflector (), catch reflective optics () that focus MIR electromagnetic energy, reflected from the reflector, into an output fiber (), and an alignment housing that interfaces with structure adjacent the combustion zone. A method for determining gas concentration within a combustion zone is disclosed that includes collimating MIR electromagnetic energy exiting from an input fiber to traverse a combustion zone and focusing reflected MIR electromagnetic energy from the combustion zone into an output fiber.
