    Abstract: A device for determining a concentration of at least one gas in a sample gas stream includes an analysis chamber, a detector, and a connecting channel. The analysis chamber is configured to have the sample gas stream and a reaction gas stream be introduced therein. The sample gas stream and the reaction gas stream are mixed to a gas mixture which reacts so as to emit an optical radiation. The detector is configured to measure the optical radiation. The connecting channel is configured to connect the analysis chamber to the detector. The connecting channel is configured as a light conductor extending from the analysis chamber to the detector.

    Abstract: An optical probe for non-invasively measuring an analyte property in a biological sample of a subject, comprises a plurality of illumination fibers that deliver source light from an optical probe input to a sample interface, a plurality of collection fibers that deliver light returned from the sample interface to an optical probe output, and wherein the illumination and collection fibers are oriented substantially perpendicular to the sample interface and the illumination and collection fibers are stacked in a plurality of linear rows to provide a stack of fibers arranged in a rectangular pattern. The optical probe is amenable to manufacturing on a scale consistent with a commercial product.

    Abstract: System and method for spatially and spectrally parallelized FAST. A sample is illuminated to thereby produce interacted photons. The photons are passed through a filter and received at a two-dimensional end of a FAST device wherein said FAST device comprises a two-dimensional array of optical fibers drawn into a one-dimensional fiber stack so as to effectively convert a two-dimensional array of optical fibers into a curvilinear field of view, and wherein said two-dimensional array of optical fibers is configured to receive said photons and transfer said photons out of said fiber array spectral translator device and to a spectrograph through said one-dimensional fiber stack wherein said one-dimensional fiber stack comprises at least two columns of fibers spatially offset in parallel at the entrance slit of said spectrograph. The photons are then detected at a detector to thereby obtain a spectroscopic data set representative of the sample.

    Abstract: Thermopile-based detection and monitoring/control systems are described, in applications such as inferring concentration of a multicomponent gas by sensing a tracer gas therein, utilizing fiber optic cables to provide multiple sensing paths in a cell, utilizing a modulated IR source switched in on/off cycles, verifying chemical reagent identities, and sensing of effluent following discharge from a contamination removal 8 element or cold trap. A thermopile infrared (TPIR) detector of highly compact character is described for such applications, and permits monitoring of species that may be problematic or otherwise deleterious in such environments. In one implementation, light source modulation and signal processing techniques are employed to improve signal to noise ratio and minimize calibration and complexity of the TPIR detector.
