Instrument includes gallium arsenide light-emitting diode (LED) and silicon phototransistor with infrared filter, all cast in single plastic housing. Housing attached to subject's face with transparent doublesided adhesive tape. LED directs pulses of infrared light to skin, which reflects them to phototransistor. Phototransistor produces signal that is processed by external circuits to yield plot of infrared reflectance with time. External circuits temperature-compensated and respond only to pulsed component of detector output, rejecting those components caused by stray light. Circuits also extract blood-volume pulse amplitude and heart rate.
