Spectroscopic analyzer and process utilizing light intensity spatial distribution information

摘要

A spectroscopic analyzing apparatus and process can increase the signal to noise ratio by executing an optimal spectroscopic analysis of light from a light source. The light source can provide different light spectrum intensities representative of an element at different temperatures across the light source. An optical system can form a two-dimensional image of the light source on a photo sensor for providing a plurality of output signals representative of the desired measurement areas for a particular component. Information representative of the various components can be prestored so that a computer can select the optimum pixel positions from the sensor to process the output signals in making a determination of a component while only using those output signals from the sensor that can optimize the signal to noise ratio.
