Abstract

The present invention relates to an optical gas detector for detecting a gas absorbing light at a known wavelength, wherein the gas detector comprises two essentially identical, parallel membranes defining a volume between them containing the gas to be investigated, and a modulated first light source emitting light at said known wavelength into said volume at a chosen frequency, the detector is adapted to detect relative movements between said membranes and said movements having a frequency corresponding to the rate or a multiple of the rate of said pulsed light source, and wherein the said volume has at least one opening allowing the gas to unrestricted flow or diffuse into said volume.
