Abstract:
An optical computing device comprising a plurality of electromagnetic radiation sources, each at a unique angular displacement about an optical train and each at at least one unique electromagnetic radiation wavelength; an integrated computational element (ICE) located in the optical train before or after a sample located in the optical train to generate modified electromagnetic radiation in the optical train; a broadband angle-selective filter (BASF) located in the optical train that is rotatable about an axis to a plurality of unique orientations to transmit the electromagnetic radiation and/or the modified electromagnetic radiation in the optical train at a target incident angle corresponding to one of the plurality of electromagnetic radiation sources to generate angle selected-modified electromagnetic radiation (ASMR); and a detector to receive the ASMR and to generate an output signal corresponding to a characteristic of the sample.
