We demonstrate the applicability of a new kind of gas sensor based on Rydberg excitations. From a gas mixture the molecule in question is excited to a Rydberg state. By succeeding collisions with all other gas components this molecule becomes ionized and the emerging electrons can be measured as a current. We investigate the excitation efficiency dependent on the used laser powers, the applied charge-extraction voltage as well as the overall gas pressure.
