Abstract: A fluorometer is provided for monitoring the quality of water, featuring an array of excitation sources, an array of multiple emission detectors and a signal processor. In the array of excitation sources, each excitation source provides respective excitation source optical signaling at a respective illuminating wavelength. The array of multiple emission detectors detects multiple emission wavelengths emitted from water containing information about multiple coexisting fluorescent species present in the water that emit optical radiation at at least two different wavelengths when illuminated by the respective illuminating wavelength provided from the array of excitation sources, and provide multiple emission detector signaling containing information about the multiple coexisting fluorescent species.

Abstract: An optical sensor includes a detector having a printed circuit board (PCB) and an inductive loop. The printed circuit board (PCB) has a photodiode cathode pad with a photodiode. The inductive loop is arranged around at least part of the photodiode cathode pad, and configured to receive inductive loop inducing signaling, and provide inductive loop signaling around the at least part of the photodiode cathode pad to provide inductive on the PCB to reduce or substantially eliminate unwanted electrical interference in electrical photodiode signaling provided from the photodiode. The inductive loop includes a trace and at least one via. The trace has a route along a signal path from a transistor collector pin around an LED anode pad. The at least one via is placed between LED anode pads to route the trace on a top side of the PCB, and the trace is routed alongside, near and around the photodiode cathode pad back to the LED anode of the LED anode pad.
