Abstract
A method of monitoring a substance includes optically interacting at least one birefringent integrated computational element with at least the substance and a polarizer, thereby generating optically interacted light. The polarizer is being configured to generate at least x polarized light and y polarized light. The method includes receiving the optically interacted light with at least one detector. The method includes generating with the at least one detector output signals corresponding to at least two characteristics of the substance.
