A linear spectrometer for spectrally measuring an optical signal. The spectrometer has an input receiving the signal which is then diffracted onto a diffraction grating. The signal is therefore divided into its spectral components, each component being diffracted at an angle theta. A correcting element, such as a lens, a group of lenses, a mirror, etc. is provided for focusing the spectral components on an image plane where they are detected. The correcting element is designed so that the resulting distribution of the spectral components on the image plane is linear with respect to the component's wavelength.
