Multivariate optical computing using a digital micromirror device for fluorescence and Raman spectroscopy

Opt Express. 2011 Aug 29;19(18):16950-62. doi: 10.1364/OE.19.016950.

Abstract

A multivariate optical computer has been constructed consisting of a spectrograph, digital micromirror device, and photomultiplier tube that is capable of determining absolute concentrations of individual components of a multivariate spectral model. We present experimental results on ternary mixtures, showing accurate quantification of chemical concentrations based on integrated intensities of fluorescence and Raman spectra measured with a single point detector. We additionally show in simulation that point measurements based on principal component spectra retain the ability to classify cancerous from noncancerous T cells.
