A gas analyzer for measuring a respiratory gas component includes an emitter that emits two different wavelengths of infrared (IR) radiation in to a measurement chamber containing a respiratory gas, wherein the two different wavelengths include a first IR wavelength and a second IR wavelength. The gas analyzer further includes a first IR detector, a second IR detector, and a beam splitter. The beam splitter is configured to receive the two different wavelengths of radiation emitted by the emitter and to split the two wavelengths of radiation so as to reflect the first IR wavelength to the first IR detector and reflect the second IR wavelength to the second IR detector.
