Patent ID: 11193880

Abstract:
Gas analyzer or gas analysis method, in which beams of at least two different radiation sources are coupled into a Herriott cell containing a measurement gas and, after being reflected multiple times, are coupled out therefrom and detected, wherein the beams are aligned such that they strike mirrors in point patterns which extend along ellipses, where the different ellipses lie inside one another and have two shared vertices (co-vertices) on a shared axis of symmetry, whereas the other co-vertices (or vertices) do not coincide, the beams of at least two of the different radiation sources are coupled into the Herriott cell at differing points of the associated point pattern and/or are coupled into the Herriott cell such that they pass through the associated point patterns along the ellipses in opposite directions, and where all beams are coupled out at the point of one of the shared vertices.
