Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and a system for spectrometry which simultaneously can analyze a plurality of signals which differ in intensities by a large amount. SOLUTION: The method and a system for spectrum spectrometry of light beam consisting of a luminous flux set different in central wavelength are provided. A light beam is dispersed on an imaging device contained in this system comprising matrix of a photodetector with active column to detect the luminous flux of the light beam. The orientation of this imaging device is determined so as to assign one wavelength to the line of the photodetector. Both the an exposure time τi required to measure the maximum intensity Imax for each luminous flux and submatrix Mi of the photodetector matrix related to luminous flux are defined. Then an exposure time τ'i which serves as a divisor of maximum integer for a total integration time T smaller than τi is assigned to the submatrix Mi of the photodetector. For each τ'i during the spectrum integration time T, corresponding submatrix Mi which is independent of the other submatrix Mj (j≠i) is measured and reset, and this time T is used to measure spectrum of the beam.

Abstract:
A device and a method for spectroscopic measurement of the spectrum of a light beam. The method includes detecting the dispersed light fluxes of the beam on an imaging device comprising a matrix of photodetectors with active columns, directing the imaging device so that one wavelength is allocated to a line of photodetectors, determining for each light flux the exposure time tau i necessary to measure a maximal intensity I max and the sub-matrix M i of photodetectors associated with the light fluxes, allocating to the sub-matrix M i of photodetectors an exposure time tau' i so that tau' i is the largest integer divider of the total integration time T smaller than tau i , measuring and resetting, during the integration time T of said spectrum, at each time tau' i , the corresponding sub-matrix M i independently of the other sub-matrices M j with j<>i, and measuring the spectrum of the beam at the time T.
