Zusammenfassung:An optical sensor for spectroscopic analysis of a sample, the optical sensor comprising: a photonic integrated chip (PIC) for providing light to the sample, the PIC comprising: one or more laser(s) designed to operate at one or more respective predetermined wavelength(s), each of the one or more laser(s) having an output that is optically coupled to an optical output of the PIC; and a monitor located on the PIC for determining the wavelength of the optical output; the optical sensor further comprising: a detector for collecting a spectrum from the sample; and one or more processors configured to: compare the wavelength of the laser(s) at the optical output with each of their respective predetermined wavelength(s); and if a deviation above a certain threshold is detected between the wavelength of the laser(s) and the predetermined wavelength(s), adapt the collected spectrum to generate a reconstructed spectrum; and use one or more datapoints from the reconstructed spectrum for the spectroscopic analysis.
