1. An optical computing device, comprising:
electromagnetic radiation that optically interacts with a sample to produce sample-interacted light; a first Integrated Computational Element (“ICE”) core; a second ICE core positioned in series with the first ICE core; and a detector positioned in series with the first and second ICE cores to receive an electromagnetic beam which has passed through the first and second ICE cores, the detector thereby generates a signal utilized to determine a characteristic of the sample.
