    Abstract: The invention comprises a method and apparatus for enhancing the analysis of noninvasive spectra, resulting in improved analytical performance. More particularly, the invention comprises a method and apparatus for processing noninvasive spectra with an analyte filter that preferably rejects variation likely to be detrimental to the measurement system, while passing signal that probabilistically is unique to the target analyte. Subsequently, the analyte filtered data are used to estimate an analyte property, such as a glucose concentration, in the presence of noise, interferences, state changes, and/or across analyzers.

    Abstract: The development of a multiple-channel dual phase lock-in optical spectrometer (LIOS) is presented, which enables parallel phase-sensitive detection at the output of an optical spectrometer. The light intensity from a spectrally broad source is modulated at the reference frequency, and focused into a high-resolution imaging spectrometer. The height at which the light enters the spectrometer is controlled by an acousto-optic deflector, and the height information is preserved at the output focal plane. A two-dimensional InGaAs focal plane array collects light that has been dispersed in wavelength along the horizontal direction, and in time along the vertical direction. The data is demodulated using a high performance computer-based digital signal processor. This parallel approach greatly enhances (by more than 100×) the speed at which spectrally resolved lock-in data can be acquired.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a simple, robust, and versatile high-resolution spectrometer that is suitable for downhole use. The present invention provides a method and apparatus incorporating a spinning, oscillating or stepping optical interference filter to change the angle at which light passes through the filters after passing through a sample under analysis downhole. As each filter is tilted, the color or wavelength of light passed by the filter changes. Black plates are placed between the filters to isolate each filter's photodiode. The spectrometer of the present invention is suitable for use with a wire line formation tester, such as the Baker Atlas Reservation Characterization Instrument to provide supplemental analysis and monitoring of sample clean up. The present invention is also suitable for deployment in a monitoring while drilling environment. The present invention provides a high resolution spectometer which enables quantification of a crude oil's percentage of aromatics, olefins, and saturates to estimate a sample's gas oil ratio (GOR). Gases such as CO2 are also detectable. The percentage of oil-based mud filtrate contamination in a crude oil sample can be estimated with the present invention by using a suitable training set and chemometrics, a neural network, or other type of correlation method.

    Abstract: The gas detector device comprises at least a VCSEL source and at least a light sensor for detecting a light beam having passed through a sample chamber containing a given gas to be detected. The detection signal of the sensor directly provided to or is time derivated by an electronic derivator and then provided to respective lock-in amplifiers in order to generate a two different 2f-detection, f being the frequency of a wavelength modulation of the source, and thus to provide two corresponding measuring signals the division of which gives a precise value of the gas concentration. The invention uses at least a first modulation reference signal at twice and a second modulation reference signal at twice of the modulation frequency of the laser source. Providing at least a first 2f modulation reference signal has advantages over the prior art, because by using such a reference modulation signal it is possible measure the absolute intensity and therefore to receive the same result at different temperatures or at mode hopping of the laser. A further advantage is that the measurement accuracy is independent from the gas concentration.

    Abstract: A tunable wavelength semiconductor laser includes an n-type semiconductor substrate, an active layer which is disposed above the n-type semiconductor substrate and which generates light, a p-type cladding layer disposed above the active layer, and wavelength selecting section for causing to selectively oscillate only a specific wavelength from the light generated in the active layer. The tunable wavelength semiconductor layer capable of oscillating at the specific wavelength can be performed by injecting current into the active layer, and the specific wavelength can be varied by changing the magnitude of the current. A device length showing a length in a propagation direction of the light generated in the active layer is about 200 μm to 500 μm, and a width of the active layer orthogonal to the propagation direction of the light generated in the active layer, and showing a length in a direction parallel to the n-type semiconductor substrate is about 1 μm to 2 μm. The p-type cladding layer includes a lightly doped cladding layer having a low impurity concentration and a heavily doped cladding layer having a high impurity concentration which are sequentially arranged from the active layer side.
