Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An apparatus for detecting gas concentrations includes a coded filter to oscillate proximate a resonant frequency. A photo detector is positioned below the coded filter such that the coded filter selectively blocks light that is directed at the photo detector. Optics are positioned to project spectral information on to the coded filter. A processor analyzes a signal received from the photo detector. The processor is adapted to weight a harmonic attic signal.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An apparatus for detecting gas concentrations, the apparatus comprising: a coded filter to oscillate at a selected frequency; a photo detector positioned below the coded filter such that the coded filter selectively blocks light that is directed at the photo detector; optics for projecting spectral information on to the coded filter; and a processor for analyzing a signal received from the photo detector, wherein the processor is adapted to wei…
