What is Dark Spectrum (in SpectraWiz)?
For clarity, “Dark” will be used to indicate a SpectraWiz dark spectrum and “dark spectrum” will refer to the concept. When you acquire a Dark, the SpectraWiz software saves the spectrum and subtracts it from all subsequent spectra that are acquired. Because of this...What is Dark Spectrum (concept)?
The dark spectrum of a spectrometer is a spectrum taken with no light hitting the detector. It captures the shape of the baseline offset. It can be used to adjust sample spectra for non-uniformities in the detector pixels. The SpectraWiz software is able to do this...What is Spectrometer Dark Current?
Sometimes thermal fluctuations have enough energy to generate electrons in the same way that photons do. These electrons are not part of the signal, but there is no way to distinguish them from the signal in the detector, so they become a source of noise. The dark...What is a spectrometers F-number?
The f-number, also called the f-stop or the f-ratio, is an optical component’s focal length divided by its diameter: where N is the f-number, ƒ is the focal length, and D is the diameter. Often, this is written as “f/N,” so for N=4, it is written “f/4.” This number...
