Abstract

Apparatuses, methods, and systems for detecting a sample are disclosed. One method includes generating, by a tunable light source, a beam of electro-magnetic radiation, wherein a wavelength of the beam of electro-magnetic radiation is tuned to operate at a plurality of wavelengths. At least a portion of the beam of electro-magnetic radiation is directed to pass through the sample and a reference substance. The system detector is configured to sense at least the portion of the beam of electro-magnetic radiation after passing through the sample and the reference substance. The processor operates to receive information related to intensity or amplitude of the sensed beam of electro-magnetic radiation after passing through the sample and the reference substance and detect an amount of the sample based on the received information related to the intensity or amplitude of the sensed beam of the electro-magnetic radiation.
