Abstract:
A system for detecting an array of samples having detectable samples and at least one reference sample is provided. The system comprises an electromagnetic radiation source, a sensing surface comprising a plurality of sample fields, wherein the plurality of sample fields comprise at least one reference field, a phase difference generator configured to introduce differences in pathlengths of one or more samples in the array of samples, and an imaging spectrometer configured to image one or more samples in the array of samples.
Abstract:
A method for determining a concentration of at least one individual gas present in a gas-mixture (102) includes irradiating a first component (116) by incident modulated-light-beams (108,109) characterized by a determined absorption wavelength range, modulation frequencies and a modulation amplitudes to generate first transmitted-light-beams (118,119), irradiating a second component (117), comprising a determined concentration of the at least one individual gas, by the first incident modulated-light-beams (108,109) to generate second transmitted-light-beams (121,123), generating noise signals (122,124) representative of a characteristic of the first transmitted-light-beams (118,119), generating noise-free signals (125,127) representative of a characteristic of the second transmitted-light-beams (121,123), selecting an optimal modulation frequency and an optimal modulation amplitude from the modulation frequencies and the modulation amplitudes based on the noise signals (122,124) and the noise-free signals (125,127), and determining a concentration of the at least one individual gas in the gas-mixture (102) based on the optimal modulation frequency and the optimal modulation amplitude of the determined absorption wavelength range.

A method implemented on a processor (126) includes emitting a light beam from a light source (106) to a component (104) in an absorption cell (102), wherein the light beam comprises a plurality of wavelength beams (118,120). The method further includes generating a plurality of response signals (122,124) due to the presence of the component (104), corresponding to the plurality of wavelength beams (118,120) of the light beam. The method also includes detecting the plurality of response signals (122,124) by a photo detector (108) coupled to the absorption cell (102). The method includes determining a concentration of the component (104) based on the plurality of response signals (122,124).
