摘要： The invention relates to a method for measuring the presence and/or the concentration of an analyte using a gas sensor assembly and to a corresponding gas sensor assembly. The gas sensor assembly comprises, in particular, a radiation-emitting radiation source (102), a gas measurement chamber (104) which may be filled with a test gas (110) containing the at least one analyte to be measured, and at least one detector device (108) which detects the radiation (116) and generates an output signal which is dependent on the presence and/or the concentration of the analyte. In order to meet increased safety requirements and to avoid the drawbacks of the known systems without inadmissible increased complexity and overall size, the radiation source emits radiation in the form of pulses and, during each radiation pulse, a large number of individual values (304) are recorded for generating an average measured value, the first of the large number of individual values being compared, during the first radiation pulse, with a predetermined threshold value and an alarm signal (136) being generated if the threshold value is exceeded.

摘要： A radiation source for an optical sensor arrangement has an incandescent lamp being switched by a semiconductor switch. The incandescent lamp emits a broadband light spectrum. The semiconductor switch has a control terminal driven by a control signal to switch a connection of the incandescent lamp to a supply voltage. The semiconductor switch has a first terminal which is connected to the incandescent lamp, and a second terminal which is connected to a reference potential. When the semiconductor switch is in an on state, a current path is formed between the first and second terminals. A capacitor is connected between the control terminal and the first terminal. A first resistor connects the control terminal to the control signal and a second resistor or capacitor connects the control terminal to the reference potential.
