We describe a prototype of a Raman gas analyzer designed for measuring the composition of natural gas. Operation of the gas analyzer was tested on a real natural gas. We show that our Raman gas analyzer prototype can detect all molecular components of natural gas with concentration ≥ 0.01%. The results obtained agree with chromatographic analysis data.
