Abstract:Spectrometers that include extended-range linear InGaAs arrays make it possible to measure optical signals to 2500 nm. Available arrays, however, have more than 100 times the dark current as that of conventional arrays, which are limited to 1700 nm. This behavior leads to non-linearity in a short-wave infrared spectroradiometer used to monitor spectral radiance of an integrating sphere uniform source. A method of improving linearity in an extended-range InGaAs array is presented. The non-linearity is corrected… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
