A method for identification, measurement and/or warning of a gas with a sensor composed of: a pulsed, radiation-cooled infrared radiation source heated by single pulses of electric current, an infrared detector which is adapted to the detection of pulsed infrared radiation from the radiation source, at least one infrared spectrally selective element arranged between the radiation source and the detector for spectral selection of the infrared radiation corresponding to specific spectral characteristics of the gas, a volume of gas that is arranged between the radiation source and the detector, optics arranged to guide infrared radiation from the radiation source via the spectrally selective element onto the detector through the volume of gas, and an electronics unit for registration, amplification, treatment and/or presentation of such electrical signals as result when the infrared radiation illuminates the detector through the gas via the spectrally selective element. |
