1. An optical interrogation system comprising:

  • a tunable laser for emitting an optical beam;

    a first fiber launch for receiving the optical beam emitted from said tunable laser and then outputting a first optical beam;

    a first lens for collimating the first optical beam outputted from said first fiber launch such that the collimated first optical beam illuminates a first biosensor;

    a second lens for receiving a first reflected optical beam from the first biosensor;

    a first detector for receiving the first reflected optical beam from said second lens;

    a data processing device for receiving one or more images associated with the first reflected optical beam received at said first detector;

    a second fiber launch for receiving the optical beam generated by said tunable laser and then outputting a second optical beam;

    said second lens for collimating the second optical beam outputted from said second fiber launch such that the collimated second optical beam illuminates a second biosensor;

    a third lens for receiving a second reflected optical beam from the second biosensor;

    a second detector for receiving the second reflected optical beam from said third lens; and

    said data processing device for receiving one or more images associated with the second reflected optical beam received at said second detector.
