Method for operating an internal combustion engine, dual fuel injector device, and internal combustion engine designed for carrying out such a method

A method for operating an internal combustion engine, the internal combustion engine including a combustion chamber, the method including:

• providing a fuel injector device for the internal combustion engine;
• introducing, by the fuel injector device, at least two combustible fuel jets concurrently into the combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine, wherein the at least two combustible fuel jets include a first combustible fuel jet and a second combustible fuel jet which is different from the first combustible fuel jet;
• igniting the first combustible fuel jet of the at least two combustible fuel jets at an ignition time point;
• and
• igniting the second combustible fuel jet of the at least two combustible fuel jets after the ignition time point in a first operating mode of the internal combustion engine, wherein the first combustible fuel jet is ignited by a pilot injection of an ignition oil from an ignition oil jet into the combustion chamber, and wherein the second combustible fuel jet is spatially distanced from the ignition oil jet that is assigned to the first combustible fuel jet for its ignition, the ignition oil jet being spatially distanced from the first combustible fuel jet in such a way that the second combustible fuel jet is not ignited by the ignition oil jet, the second combustible fuel jet being later ignited by the first combustible fuel jet.
