Abstract
An isotope gas measuring apparatus for measuring concentrations of components in a sample gas includes two sample cells through which the sample gas passes; a control cell filled with a gas having no absorbance at a wavelength of infrared light to be measured; a light source irradiating infrared light to the sample cells and the control cell; an optical coupler for coupling light permeated from the sample cells and the control cell; a first interference filter disposed between one sample cell and the optical coupler; a second interference filter disposed between the other sample cell and the optical coupler; and an optical detector for detecting infrared light from the optical coupler. The apparatus can minimize an influence of drift, and have a simple structure.
