    Abstract: A low cost portable fiber optic fluorometer is packaged as a personal computer peripheral and is based on interchangeable modules. One embodiment of the fluorometer comprises an excitation source, a detector, a signal processor, frequency source, wavelength selector, and an optical interface. The optical interface is exclusively fiber optic-based, thereby simplifying optical alignment and reducing the cost of the fluorometer. In another embodiment, the excitation source is an inexpensive monochromatic excitation source. In this case, the monochromatic excitation source and the first wavelength selector are preferably removable and replaceable, so that the fluorometer is advantageously able to generate different excitation wavelengths and detect different emission wavelengths. A fluorescence measurement method comprises the steps of generating an excitation signal; transmitting the excitation signal to a system under study which, in response, generates an emission signal; and detecting both the excitation signal and the emission signal with the fluorometer, and then using the detected excitation signal as a reference signal to calibrate the fluorometer and to nullify distortion errors in the emission signal. The use of the excitation signal as a reference signal provides an advantageously simple way to calibrate the fluorometer and to nullify distortion errors in the emission signal. An alternative method allows the precise shapes of the emission signal and the excitation signal to be profiled. The fluorometry method and apparatus can both advantageously be used for performing both direct fluorescence lifetime measurements and for performing phase fluorometry.

    Abstract: An apparatus useful in immunoassay of a fluid, light is directed to an optical sensor wherein the light is transmitted to a replaceable optical device that is responsive to index of refraction in a sensing region thereof that is exposed to the fluid. One portion of the light is transmitted via a compensation path that includes the sensing region to a first detector. Another portion of the light is transmitted via a sensing path that includes the sensing region to another detector. In one embodiment a ratioing device receives an output from each detector and provides a signal responsive to the ratio of the outputs. The replaceable optical device typically comprises a pair of channel waveguides in directional coupling arrangement, or a pair of channel waveguides in an interferometer arrangement, or a ridge waveguide having a curved or serpentine path configured so that nonspecific sensing effects are compensated.

The sensor also comprises a radiation detector (104) sensitive to radiation emitted by the optical source (103), the radiation being detected by the radiation detector (104) following passage through the measurement chamber (102). A diffusion layer (131) is configured to allow diffusion of ambient gas into and out from the measurement chamber (102), and the diffusion layer (131) comprises means (133) for preventing diffusion of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the ambient gas into the measurement chamber (102).
