    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of determining petroleum hydrocarbon fractions (Cn) in a sample, the method including: inputting the sample into a chamber; emitting infrared light from an optical light source into the chamber with the sample; detecting at a detector a detected infrared light from the chamber; transforming the detected infrared light to a Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrum of the sample at a processor, wherein the FTIR spectrum has wavenumbers between 4000 and 400 cm−1; processing the FTIR spectrum to identify sub-bands each having at least one doublet of sub-band peaks at respective wavenumbers in a second derivative curve of the FTIR spectrum using a second derivation algorithm implemented by the processor; comparing the at least one doublet of sub-band peaks to data indicative of known doublets of sub-band peaks at known wavenumbers for petroleum hydrocarbon fractions in the FTIR spectrum to classify the petroleum hydrocarbon fractions in the sample; and determining a dominant petroleum hydrocarbon fraction of the petroleum hydrocarbon fractions in the sample based on a ratio of intensities of the sub-band peaks of the at least one doublet for each of the petroleum hydrocarbon fractions in the sample.

    Abstract: A detection system for detecting fluorescence lifetime includes an excitation light source configured for repeatedly generating pulsed excitation light, and a detector. The detector has a single-photon detection circuit; a pulse-inhibit circuit for rejecting detected photons that occur outside each one of a series of measurement time windows, each subsequent measurement time window starting after a subsequent excitation light pulse has stopped, and stopping before a next excitation light pulse is generated, each measurement time window having a measurement window period; and a switched-capacitor circuit having an input terminal for receiving a voltage ramp signal that is restarted with each new measurement window period. The switched-capacitor circuit is configured for repetitively computing an average voltage. The switched-capacitor circuit has a node for outputting the computed average voltage as a measure of the fluorescence lifetime.
