  • MWIR generally refers to a mid-wavelength subset of the infrared radiation band between 3 ⁇ and 8 ⁇ .
  • MWIR radiation emitted by emitter 48 includes a reference wavelength and a carbon dioxide wavelength (AREF and ⁇ ⁇ 2 , respectively).
  • Emitter 48 may operate substantially as a blackbody for at least a portion of the spectrum (e.g., between 0.7 ⁇ and 300 ⁇ ).
  • Detector 50 includes two separate photosensitive sensors 52 and 54.
  • the basic principle of operation behind Capnometry/Capnography via detector 50 is that infrared radiation in a band around 4.275 ⁇ experiences increasing absorption (when traveling a fixed-length path through a sample gas) with increasing carbon dioxide concentration - according to a reliably repeatable relationship.

  • the length of the optical path for the electromagnetic radiation through sampling chamber 46 is effectively doubled. This will tend to enhance absorption at Aco 2 for a given level of carbon dioxide.
  • This may provide various advantages over systems in which emitter 48 and detector 50 are positioned on opposite sides of sampling chamber 46. For example, the width of sampling chamber 46 may be reduced (e.g., to enhance form factor of airway adapter 22 and/or gas measurement module 16), the accuracy of gas measurement module 16 may be enhanced, and/or other advantages may be realized.

  • Such advantages include, for example, enhanced form factor (e.g., the leg without either emitter 48 or sensors 52 and 54 can be smaller and/or removed altogether), enhanced power or temperature management due to the proximity of emitter 48 with sensors 52 and 54, and/or other enhancements.

  • folding mirror 64 is a focusing mirror.
  • the optical path from folding mirror 64 toward detector 50 is slightly transverse to the optical path from source mirror 62 to folding mirror 64. This is so that detector 50 is not positioned between source mirror 62 and folding mirror 64, which would tend to block some of the electromagnetic radiation emitted by emitter 48.

  • Beam-splitter 68 is configured to divide the electromagnetic radiation into two separate beams that can be directed to sensors 52 and 54.
