    Abstract: A multi-channel measurement device for measuring properties of human tissue, may comprise a microcontroller and first and second source/sensor complexes. The first source/sensor complex may include a first housing having a first measurement portion, a first light sensor coupled to the microcontroller and exposed to the first measurement portion, and a first plurality of light sources coupled to the microcontroller and exposed to the first measurement portion. The second source/sensor complex may include a second housing having a second measurement portion, a second light sensor coupled to the microcontroller and exposed to the second measurement portion, and a second plurality of light sources coupled to the microcontroller and exposed to the second measurement portion. The first and second source/sensor complexes are coupled to each other such that the first measurement portion is opposite the second measurement portion and human tissue may be placed between the the first and second measurement portions. The microprocessor is configured with instructions stored in non-volatile memory to individually activate each of the light sources of the first and second pluralities of light sources and to record light intensity detected by the first and second light sources while an individual light source is activated. Each combination of an individually activated light source and one of the first and second light sensors provides a distinct measurement channel for measuring the absorption spectra of human blood and tissue.

    Abstract: A gas sensor comprises a chamber configured to receive a gas; a light source configured to emit a light wave propagating through the chamber in an emission cone; a measurement photodetector and a reference photodetector, each configured to detect a light wave emitted by the light source and having passed through the chamber. The chamber extends between two transverse walls, arranged opposite one another and connected to one another by a peripheral wall extending therebetween, about a longitudinal axis (Z), and comprising a first reflective segment configured to receive a first portion of the emission cone to reflect it toward the measurement photodetector, thus forming a measurement cone converging toward the measurement photodetector. A second reflective segment of the peripheral wall is configured to receive a second portion of the emission cone to reflect it toward the reference photodetector, thus forming a reference cone converging toward the reference photodetector.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an all-digital phase and timing correction procedure for coherent averaging in dual-comb and multiheterodyne spectroscopy—applicable to any dual-comb spectroscopy setup. It can account for large frequency/phase instabilities of the used sources, yielding a significant reduction of the noise pedestal and an increase in signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the radio frequency (RF) beat notes. This technique is computationally efficient and can be conveniently implemented either as a post-processing algorithm or in a real-time data acquisition and processing platform without the necessity of adding any additional optical elements to the dual-comb spectroscopy system. By implementing this technique, the performance of any comb- or comb-like-source-based DCS system with a sufficient degree of mutual coherence between the optical modes can be improved in terms of SNR and number of spectroscopically-usable RF beat notes. The described technique is compatible with a DC-centered RF spectrum, where the negative frequencies are folded to the positive domain to double the number of beat notes within the detector bandwidth. The technique enables coherent averaging over extended time-scales even for free-running combs, thus increasing the sensitivity of absorption and dispersion DCS measurements.

    Abstract: A gas analysis system includes a spectroscopy assembly coupled to a vehicle. The spectroscopy assembly includes a multiplexer configured to combine a plurality of light beams into a multiplexed light beam, wherein the multiplexer is configured to direct the multiplexed light beam toward a target surface. Additionally, the spectroscopy assembly includes a collection optic configured to receive a reflected multiplexed light beam from the target surface. Further, the spectroscopy assembly includes a controller configured to de-multiplex the multiplexed light beam into a plurality of reflected light beams and determine a spectral intensity of the plurality of reflected light beams.

    Abstract: To provide a plant sensor device capable of obtaining a parameter to determine a growth status other than a spectroscopy vegetation index without increasing its configuration. The plant sensor device includes a light emission part for emitting a measurement light to irradiate a target plant, a light receiving part for receiving a reflected light from the target plant, and a control section for controlling the light emission part and light receiving part. The control section determines a spectroscopy vegetation index of the target plant by obtaining a reflection rate of the target plant based on the measurement light and reflected light. The control section calculates a distance from the target plant to the light emission part in accordance with the measurement light and reflected light, and determines a plant height of the target plant based on the distance.
