  • Patent number: 6053035
    Abstract: A method for evaluating material is carried out by making current measurements in an electrolyte positioned between a sensor and a material to be evaluated. The sensor has a substrate and a sensor surface. A light source is disposed in a spaced relationship with the substrate of the sensor. An electrolyte such as a gas or a solution is positioned to contact the sensor surface, and a material to be evaluated is positioned to contact the electrolyte, such that the electrolyte is positioned between the sensor and the material to be evaluated. A change in a property of the electrolyte, for example, pH, is caused by irradiating the sensor with the light beam. By generating a current in the substrate and then measuring the current, the pH of the electrolyte may be determined.
