Gas sensor
First Claim
1. A gas sensor comprising at least two light sources, projection optics and a light-reflecting chamber provided with at least one light entry opening, which gas sensor further comprises a detector that cooperates with the chamber, by means of which detector light from the light source can be detected, wherein the at least two light sources can each be projected on a light entry opening of the chamber by means of said projection optics, and wherein the cross-sectional area of the chamber gradually decreases from the light entry opening in the direction of the detector.

Abstract
A gas sensor includes at least two light source, projection optics and a light-reflecting chamber provided with at least one light entry opening. The gas sensor further includes a detector that cooperates with the chamber, by means of which detector light from the light source can be detected. The at least two light sources can each be projected on a light entry opening of the chamber by means of the projection optics.
