Abstract:
An optical chemical analyser comprises a source of a first amount of radiation ( 46 ), an optics module configured to direct the first amount of radiation such that it is incident on or passes through a target ( 14 ) at a target location, the optics module further being configured to receive a second amount of Raman scattered radiation from the target and direct the second amount of radiation ( 206 ) to a Spatial Interference Fourier Transform (SIFT) module, the SIFT module including a first dispersive element ( 216 ) and a second dispersive element ( 218 ), the SIFT module being configured such that a portion of the second amount of radiation is received by the first dispersive element and interferes with a portion of the second amount of radiation received by the second dispersive element to form an interference pattern; the SIFT module further comprising a detector ( 48 ) configured to capture an image of at least a portion of the interference pattern and produce a detector signal ( 226 ) based on the captured image; and a processor configured to receive the detector signal from the detector and perform a Fourier transform on the detector signal to thereby obtain a frequency spectrum of the second amount of radiation.

Claim (Index 21):
A method of operating an optical chemical analyser, the optical chemical analyser comprising a target detection module, the method comprising:\n the target detection module detecting a change in presence of a desired class of target; the target detection manual outputting a target change signal when a predetermined change in presence of the desired class of target is detected; and at least a portion of the optical chemical analyser entering a powered-up state from a powered-down state based on the target change signal being output by the target detection module.
