This arterial blood monitoring system takes advantage of the basic statistical property that arterial blood contains a plurality of dominant absorbers, whose measured light absorption spectra appear as a constant over a short interval of time. By measuring the transmitted light as it varies with arterial pulsation at selected wavelengths of light, over a common light path, the relative amount of these dominant absorbers in the arterial blood can noninvasively be determined. To ensure the common light path, a sandwich construction light detector is used.
