Optical and chemical analytical systems and methods are provided herein. In one embodiment, a method includes exposing a mixture sample to electromagnetic radiation, the mixture sample including analytes, detecting responsiveness of one or more of the analytes to the electromagnetic radiation, calculating average responsiveness of the one or more of the analytes, and calculating a concentration of the one or more of the analytes in the mixture sample using the average responsiveness.
Abstract:
The disclosure relates to processing SPR signals, in particular signals obtained by illuminating a conductive surface with light at two wavelengths. Processing SPR signals can involve processing a first and second signal indicative of an intensity of light, received from a conductive layer at which SPR has occurred, as a function of angle of incidence, reflection or diffraction at the layer. The first and second signals each have two dips corresponding to a respective wavelength of the light at a respective angle at which surface plasmon resonance occurs for the respective wavelength and a peak between the two dips. The processing includes deriving a first and second value of a quantity indicative of signal magnitudes in the region of the peak. The first and second values can be compared to detect a change in refractive index at the layer after the first signal and before the second signal was captured.

Disclosed are an optical-characteristics measurement device and an optical-characteristics measurement method capable of reducing a measurement load for optical characteristics of a material and performing a simple and high-accuracy measurement in a short period of time. An optical-characteristics measurement device (for example, a BRDF measurement device) includes a light irradiation unit (for example, a light source unit and a point light source) which irradiates a sample with light, and a light reception unit which receives light from the sample. The light reception unit has a light reception sensor (for example, a sensor array) including a plurality of photoreceptors, and light guide unit (for example, an imaging lens) which guides light from the sample to the light reception sensor. The light guide unit guides light from the sample to different photoreceptors among a plurality of photoreceptors according to the position and traveling direction of light on and from the sample.

The invention relates to a multi-sensor laser system for the selective trace analysis of organic material, the multi-sensor system having at least one laser ion mobility spectrometer, an absorption spectrometer and a fluorescent measuring device. The system is characterized in that it is equipped with a device for the simultaneous generation of a common laser beam with different wavelengths and pulses for the simultaneous operation of the laser ion mobility spectrometer, the absorption spectrometer and the fluorescent measuring device. This avoids the disadvantages of the known solutions in prior art and provides an improved solution for the highly sensitive and highly selective trace analysis of organic material, in particular hazardous substances such as explosives and warfare agents in the air.
