The signal generation is accomplished with a pyroelectrical (solid-state) detector. The detector records the incoming infrared radiation. This radiation is reduced by the absorption of the gas at the corresponding wavelengths. By comparing the measurement and reference wavelength, an alternating voltage signal is produced. This signal results from the cooling and heating of the pyroelectric detector mate- rial.
