First Claim
Patent Images
1. An optical system for a gas component analysis, comprising:
- a first emitter located on a first side of a vehicle path for emitting a first light beam having a first spectrum across the vehicle path;
a first receiver for receiving the first light beam;
a plurality of filter elements; and
a spinning mirror face that reflects the beam so that the beam reaches each of the filter elements in sequence.
