Claim 0:
1. A sensing device for fluidic medium, comprising:
a light source;
a photo detector;
an electromagnet configured to generate a time-varying magnetic field;
a processor circuitry configured to process an output of the photo detector and creating a sensing signal in response to a physical property of the fluidic medium; and
a cartridge removably coupled to the sensing device,
wherein the light source is coupled with a light guide included in the cartridge and the photo detector is coupled with a light receiver included in the cartridge, and the time-varying magnetic field is configured to vibrate a movable section of the light guide included in the cartridge_,
wherein said sensing device further comprises:
at least one fluidic medium channel;
at least one light channel;
at least one chamber located at an intersection of the fluidic medium channel and the light channel;
at least one light guide disposed in the light channel, wherein the light guide is at least partially positioned in the respective chamber to contact a liquid fluidic medium; and
at least one light receiver, configured to receive light from the light guide;
wherein the light guide includes a movable section comprising a magnetic material arranged to facilitate electromagnetic actuation;
wherein said chamber includes a fluid stop region to prevent the fluidic medium from getting in between the light guide and the light receiver; and
wherein said movable section of said light guide is at least partially immersed in said fluidic medium and is configured to vibrate, and a time-varying AC signal is generated by light power coupled from said light guide to said light receiver.
