Optical sensing platform

Abstract

Embodiments of multi-channel optical sensor system are disclosed. In one embodiment, the multi-channel optical sensor system includes a sensor platform, a first sensor-side optical pathway, a second sensor-side optical pathway, and a separable optical interface having a sensor-side optical interface and a system-side optical interface that are configured to optically couple the first sensor-side optical pathway to the first system-side optical pathway and optically couple the second sensor-side optical pathway to the second system-side optical pathway. The first sensor-side optical pathway and the second sensor-side optical pathway are configured to optically collect first and second optical response signals that are representative of a characteristic to be measured. The multi-channel optical sensor system further includes an analyzer is configured to determine a first characteristic based on the first optical response signal and determine a second characteristic based on the second optical response signal.
