Abstract: The method and apparatus of the present invention provides a system wherein light-emitting diodes (LEDs) (162) can be tuned within a given range by selecting their operating drive current in order to obtain a precise wavelength. The present invention further provides a manner in which to calibrate and utilize an LED probe (150), such that the shift in wavelength for a known change in drive current is a known quantity. In general, the principle of wavelength shift for current drive changes for LEDs is utilized in order to allow better calibration and added flexibility in the use of LED sensors, particularly in applications when the precise wavelength is needed in order to obtain accurate measurements. The present invention also provides a system in which it is not necessary to know precise wavelengths of LEDs where precise wavelengths were needed in the past. Finally, the present invention provides a method and apparatus for determining the operating wavelength of a light-emitting element such as a light-emitting diode.

Abstract: The present invention involves method and apparatus for analyzing two measur ed signals acquired by a detector (20) that are modeled as containing primary a nd secondary portions. Coefficients relate the two signals according to a model defined in accordance with the present invention. In one embodiment, the present invention involves utilizing a transformation which evaluates a plurality of possible signal coefficients in order to find appropriate coefficients. Alternatively, the present invention involves using statistica l functions or Fourier transform and windowing techniques to determine the coefficients relating to two measured signals. Use of this invention is described in particular detail with respect to blood oximetry measurements.

Abstract: An optical filter used in applications involving spectroscopic measurements is fabricated by depositing layers of optical coatings onto a substrate. The layers are deposited so as to have a substantially constant thickness in a first direction along the surface of the substrate, and a gradually increasing thickness along a direction perpendicular to the first direction. The structure of the optical filter allows for large scale production of the filter so that costs in producing the filter are greatly reduced. The filter may be used in a variety of applications including, but not limited to chemical analysis, blood glucose monitoring, and the like.
