The optical analysis system ( 20 ) for determining an amplitude of a principal component of an optical signal comprises a multivariate optical element ( 10 ) for reflecting the optical signal and thereby weighing the optical signal by a spectral weighing function, and a detector ( 9, 9 P, 9 N) for detecting the weighed optical signal. The optical analysis system ( 20 ) may further comprise a dispersive element ( 2 ) for spectrally dispersing the optical signal, the multivariate optical element being arranged to receive the dispersed optical signal. The blood analysis system ( 40 ) comprises the optical analysis system ( 20 ) according to the invention. |
