Abstract

A device is presented. The device includes an electromagnetic guiding device to provide electromagnetic radiation, a reflector that reflects a portion of the electromagnetic radiation to generate a reflected portion of the electromagnetic radiation, wherein the reflector is fully immersed in a multiphase fluid, and a processing subsystem that analyzes the multiphase fluid based upon at least a portion of the reflected portion of the electromagnetic radiation, wherein a principal optical axis of the electromagnetic guiding device substantially aligns with a principal optical axis of the reflector.
