Summary This publication contains our initial development of a pulsed discharge emission detector (PDED) (patent pending). It uses a pulsed high voltage discharge in helium, which provides a stable source for atomic and polyatomic emission spectroscopy. We have evaluated this detector for both quantitative and qualitative analysis of a range of chemical compounds. Emission spectra observed from the pulsed high voltage discharge are valuable for spectral analysis. The results obtained for selected permanent gases in the ultraviolet, visible and infrared regions of the optical spectrum indicate that these spectra can be used for compound identification after a chromatographic separation. The data are unique in our opinion and serve as a basis for the future development and investigation of the analytical significance of this detection method.
