The invention relates to refractometry and attenuated reflectance spectrometry in a wellbore environment. Specifically, it pertains to a robust apparatus and method for measuring refractive index of fluids along a continuum (rather than in steps), and for measuring attenuated reflectance spectra, and for interpreting the measurements made with this apparatus to determine a variety of formation fluid parameters. The present invention provides a method and apparatus to distinguish between gas and liquid based on the much lower index of refraction of gas. It can also be used to monitor fluid sample clean up over time. The refractive index of a wellbore fluid is determined from the fraction, R, of light reflected off the interface between a transparent window that has a known refractive index and this fluid. Preferably, the refractive index is measured at some wavelength of light for which the fluid is not highly attenuating but is optimally attenuating. The adjacent transmission spectrometer can be used to correct the refractive index measurement for attenuation at those wavelengths, which it monitors. Also, this reflection-based refractometer design can be used as an attenuated reflectance spectrometer at highly attenuating wavelengths.

This application is directed to methods and arrangements for the measurement of the dispersion and of the glucose content in transparent and partially transparent tissues and body fluids. Methods of short-coherence interferometry and spectral interferometry are modified for the measurement of tissue thickness and for the measurement of local dispersion.

The invention relates to a method for measuring the refractive index of biological tissues by utilization of the frequency-domain optical coherent tomography technology. The method is as follows: measurement is performed by utilization of the frequency-domain OCT system; interference spectrum measurement is performed for two times before and after a biological tissue sample is placed and the position of a reference mirror of a sample arm before the sample is placed and the positions of the front surface and the rear surface of the sample after the sample is placed are acquired, and then the refractive index of the sample is calculated.
