A multi-channel gas sensor comprising a gas cell (101, 601), a light source (110, 210, 310, 410, 510, 610), a first interference filter (150, 250, 350, 450, 550, 650), a first detection unit (120, 220, 320, 420, 520, 620) and a second detection unit (130, 230, 330, 430, 530, 630). The light source (110, 210, 310, 410, 510, 610) is arranged to emit light radiation into the gas cell (101, 5 601). The first detection unit (120, 220, 320, 420, 520, 620) is arranged to detect light from the light source, that has propagated through at least a part of the gas cell (101, 601), and that has been transmitted through the first interference filter (150, 250, 350, 450, 550, 650). The second detection unit (130, 230, 330, 430, 530, 630) is arranged to be illuminated by light from the light source that has been reflected in the first interference filter (150, 250, 350, 450, 10 550, 650) and then has propagated through the gas cell (101, 601) before illuminating the second detection unit and to detect at least a second wavelength portion of said light that has been reflected in the first interference filter.
