Abstract
A detection method and system includes applying a gas to an article, the article including a gasochromic material capable of emitting a radiation emission spectrum in the presence of the gas, the article further including a first absorptive material capable of absorbing radiation in a first narrow bandwidth within the emission spectrum to produce a first narrow bandwidth absorption line in the emission spectrum, irradiating the article in the presence of the gas; and detecting the emission spectrum having the first narrow bandwidth absorption line.
