The present disclosure is for a tool for measurement of phases in fluid in downhole applications. The tool includes a light coupler for providing a first light and for detecting a second light. The first light is provided to an optical interface and the second light is received from the optical interface. The optical interface is between the tool and the fluid. An optical path is provided that is integral or coupled to the optical interface. The optical path allows transmission of the first light into the fluid at the optical interface and also allows receiving the second light from the optical interface. The second light includes one or more light components disturbed by the fluid. A processor provides digital data associated with the measurement of phases in the fluid using optical data from at least the second light.

The first wavelength range encompasses a first spectral feature corresponding to a first constituent. The method also includes at least one second scanning, by the control unit using a second set of laser spectrometer operating parameters, a second wavelength range by adjusting the wavelength of light emitted from the laser light source and passing through the sample gas. The second wavelength range has a second spectral feature corresponding to at least one second constituent. The control unit also determines a first concentration of the first constituent and a second concentration of the at least one second constituent.

The present invention relates to the design, construction, and operation for a diode-turret. Exemplary embodiments comprise several tens of laser diodes to function as a multiple-line radiation source. The invention further describes the construction for a socket-turret; this socket-turret will flexibly fit any numbers (limited only by the number of sockets available) of laser diodes. The invention further describes two radiation coupling-optics for the output from the turret of laser-diodes, one with an integrating sphere and another with a collimating scope. One operation method allows its user to set for any number of diode, functioning one diode at a time, sequentially, hopping from one diode to another, as a single-line radiation source for the spectrometry. Another operation method permits its user to set a group with any number of diodes, functioning several diodes simultaneously at a time, as a multiple-line radiation source for spectrometry.

The cloud service is configured to receive the output status, to generate processed data based on the received output status, and to store the processed data, and wherein the cloud service is capable of storing a history of at least a portion of the received output status over a specified period of time.

Interleaved data acquisition in optical spectroscopy is used to provide interference correction for time-varying interference. Measurements at a reference frequency are used to provide an estimate of the interference. These reference measurements are interleaved with the remaining measurements in order to provide estimates of the interference vs. time at relevant times. The interference being corrected can be spectrally structured or unstructured.

A generalized feed-forward method for accurate tunable laser absorption spectroscopy includes generating a laser beam. The generated laser beam is directed down a reference path and a test/sample path. One or more parameters are extracted from the reference path. The one or more parameters, extracted from the reference path, are used as feed-forward, to adjust spectral analysis of the test/sample path to detect a composition and/or concentration of an analyte gas within the test/sample path. The extraction of the one or more parameters from the reference path and the spectral analysis of the test/sample path are performed substantially concurrently.

Systems and method for analysing contaminants of a gas sample of natural gas are provided. An interrogation light beam propagates into a chamber of a multipass gas cell receiving the gas sample. The interrogation light beam has a wavelength controlled to alternately correspond to an absorption wavelength of H.sub.2S and an absorption wavelength of an additional gas contaminant. The additional gas contaminant may for example be CO.sub.2 or H.sub.2O. In some implementation, a single laser emitter may be used to generate the interrogation light beam at the H.sub.2S and CO.sub.2 wavelengths. In some implementations, two different laser emitters may be used to generate the interrogation light beam at the H.sub.2S and H.sub.2O wavelengths. A WMS detection scheme may be used.
