Provided are systems and methods to filter infrared spectrum radiation that can be integrated with a compact optical system for an infrared imaging system. The optical system includes an objective lens element configured to receive and transmit infrared (IR) radiation from a scene, where the IR radiation from the scene includes a particular range of wavelengths corresponding to an absorption spectrum or a transmission spectrum of a gas. The optical system also includes a spectral lens element configured to receive the IR radiation transmitted through the objective lens element, where the spectral lens element comprises a first interference filter disposed on a first surface of the spectral lens element. The interference filter is configured to filter the IR radiation transmitted through the objective lens element to a narrower wavelength band that includes the particular range of wavelengths.

A gas analyzer includes a reference gas chamber and a measurement gas chamber in a single cavity, and a micro-flow infrared gas detection device. A water adjustment device is disposed in the micro-flow infrared gas detection device. By identifying the overlapping phenomenon of the absorption spectrums of the gaseous water and the gas to be measured and by taking advantage of the difference between the infrared absorption spectrums of the gaseous water and the gas to be measured, the water adjustment valve is adjusted to change the velocity variation due to the expansion of the gas in front and rear gas chambers and the water adjustment buffer gas chamber of the micro-flow infrared gas detection device, such that the detected infrared spectrum is located within the absorption spectrum of the gas to be measured while away from the absorption spectrum of the gaseous water, thus addressing the water interference issue.

A method and a system for classifying at least one individual gas compound from a plurality of leaked gases in a specified field of view are provided herein. The method may include the following steps: generating, by a cryogenically cooled detector and using a first of at least n filters, multiple spectral band images of the specified view in spectral bands coinciding with said leaking gases spectral bands in which said leaking gases emit and absorb electromagnetic radiation; calculating from the images, the relative absorption response of said gases in each of said filters, respectively; calculating a set of predetermined coefficients; normalizing said relative absorption responses to the sum of relative responses of said filters; and calculating the weighted average molecular mass of said gas compound of said leaking gases.
