Abstract: A method is disclosed of determining a rate of decay of fluorescent light emitted from a photoluminescent material in operative communication with a substance having a property. The fluorescent light is emitted in response to stimulation of the photoluminescent material by a pulse of stimulation light. The rate of decay is correlated with a value of the property of the substance. The method includes receiving a data signal produced in response to receipt of the fluorescent light, and calculating a derivative of the data signal with respect to time to produce a derivative signal. The method also includes calculating the rate of decay from the derivative signal. Any offset in the data signal is eliminated by the calculating of the derivative.

The fluorescent light is emitted in response to stimulation of the photoluminescent material by a pulse of stimulation light. The rate of decay is correlated with a value of the property of the substance. The method includes receiving a data signal produced in response to receipt of the fluorescent light, and applying a weighting function to the data signal to produce a weighted data signal. The method also includes calculating a rate of decay from the weighted data signal.

Abstract: A method is disclosed that includes causing excitation of a fluorescent sensor and obtaining a measurement value from the fluorescent sensor at each of two times separated by a sampling interval. The method also includes determining a rate of change of the measurement values over the sampling interval. The method also includes, if the rate of change of the measurement values is greater than a first, upper threshold value, decreasing the sampling interval for subsequent excitations and measurements. The method also includes, if the rate of change of the measurement values is less than a second, lower threshold value, increasing the sampling interval for subsequent excitations and measurement.
