    Abstract: An analysis assembly (12) for analyzing one or more physiological parameters of a person (10) comprises a sensor assembly (14) and an analyzer (16). The sensor assembly (14) includes a sampler (218) that collects a sample (220) from the person (10); and a signal generating apparatus (222) that directs a mid-infrared light beam (232) toward the sample (220) and performs spectroscopy on the sample (220) to generate a signal (215) that is based at least in part on the one or more physiological parameters of the person (10). The sampler (218) and the signal generating apparatus (222) can be positioned less than approximately one meter from the person (10) while the sample (220) is being collected and spectroscopically scanned to generate the signal (215). The analyzer (16) receives and analyzes the signal (215) to determine the presence of the one or more physiological parameters in the sample (220).

For instance, a system includes a first electromagnetic radiation source configured to illuminate a sample with a first portion of electromagnetic radiation in a first region of the electromagnetic spectrum (e.g., an IR source) and a second electromagnetic radiation source configured to illuminate a sample with a second portion of electromagnetic radiation in a second substantially monochromatic region of the electromagnetic spectrum (e.g., a laser source). The system also includes a detector module configured to detect a sample constituent of a sample by analyzing a characteristic of electromagnetic radiation reflected from the sample associated with the first electromagnetic radiation source and a characteristic of electromagnetic radiation reflected from the sample associated with the second electromagnetic radiation source.
