Abstract
A dual sensor, includes: one or more analyte detectors, each having an analyte-specific binding site for interacting with a specific analyte; an optical source generating a first frequency comb spectrum directed to an environment to be scanned, the first frequency comb spectrum having multiple optical frequencies at a first frequency range; an optical spectrum analyzer analyzing an optical spectrum resulting from interaction of the first frequency comb spectrum with the environment; and a controller that is configured, where an analyte detector indicates presence of a specific analyte, to adjust the first frequency comb spectrum to increase sensitivity for detecting the specific analyte.
