We present an optical gas sensor based on the classical nondispersive infrared technique using ultracompact photonic crystal gas cells. The ultracompact device is conceptually based on low group velocities inside a photonic crystal gas cell and low-reflectivity antireflection layers coupling light into the device. Experimentally, an enhancement of the CO2 infrared absorption by a factor of 2.6 to 3.5 as compared to an empty cell, due to slow light inside a 2D silicon photonic crystal gas cell, was observed; this is in excellent agreement with numerical simulations. We show that, theoretically, for an optimal design enhancement factors of up to 60 are possible in the region of slow light. However, the overall transmission of bulk photonic crystals, and thus the performance of the device, is limited by fluctuations of the pore diameter. Numerical estimates suggest that the positional variations and pore diameter fluctuations have to be well below 0.5% to allow for a reasonable transmission of a 1 mm device.
