Abstract
An exhaust gas analysis method comprises applying a laser beam to the exhaust gas discharged from an internal combustion engine, receiving the laser beam that has passed through the exhaust gas, and measuring the concentration of any of the components contained in the exhaust gas based on the received laser beam. The exhaust gas analysis method further comprises detecting the absorption spectrum of the laser beam absorbed in the exhaust gas by using the received laser beam, calculating the concentration of the specific gas component by using the absorption spectrum, calculating the temperature of the exhaust gas by using the absorption spectrum, calculating the pressure of the exhaust gas by using the absorption spectrum, correcting the calculated concentration of the component contained in the exhaust gas by using the calculated temperature, correcting the concentration by using the calculated pressure, and outputting the true concentration value.
