Abstract

A compact infrared gas analyzer capable of reducing the quantity of heat generated from a radiation source and the effects of temperature on samples is provided. A shutter is provided between the radiation source and the sample cell and/or between the sample cell and a detector with the shutter in a closed position. The shutter is opened and closed during measurement. A resistor comprising a resistance element made of one of RuO.sub.2, W, SnO.sub.2, FeCrAlY, Pt, Pt-Rh and Pt-Pd, formed on an AlN substrate, may be used as the radiation source, with the radiation source and the shutter being interrelatedly controlled.
