Abstract

See full text

One disclosed optical computing device includes a sampling window arranged on a housing, an electromagnetic radiation source configured to emit electromagnetic radiation, the electromagnetic radiation being configured to optically interact with a substance outside of the sampling window, at least one integrated computational element (ICE) core arranged to optically interact with the electromagnetic radiation, and a detector arranged to receive the electromagnetic radiation following its optical interaction with the substance and the at least one ICE core and generate an output signal corresponding to a characteristic of the substance, wherein the electromagnetic radiation impinges upon the surfaces of the sampling window at an angle of incidence from normal to the sampling window, and wherein specular reflected light reflects off the sampling window at an opposing angle of incidence, the specular reflected light emanating away from the sampling window such that it is not detected by the detector.
