Abstract
Methods and apparatus for analyzing optical measurements to determine whether a liquid includes dissolved oxygen, to determine a predicted concentration of the dissolved oxygen in the liquid, and/or to determine additional or alternative feature(s) related to dissolved oxygen in the liquid. An optical source can be controlled to emit optical radiation into a container that contains the liquid. The optical source can be located outside of the container, and the optical radiation includes (e.g., is restricted to) radiation that conforms to a dissolved oxygen absorption band. The optical radiation can be pulsed or can be periodically intensity modulated. A photodetector, located outside of the container but in optical communication with the interior of the container, can generate the optical measurements used in the analysis.
