20140161226 | PROCESSING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR THE SPECTROMETRIC MEASUREMENT OF A PHOTON FLUX - A processing device and method for a spectrometric measurement in terms of energy of a photon flux that may be received by a photosensitive element of a detector comprises the following successive steps: converting each photon received by the photosensitive element into an electrical signal, a characteristic of which is representative of the energy of the photon considered; filtering each electrical signal with a first low-pass filter whose cutoff frequency is adjusted as a function of the photon flux, the bigger the flux, the higher the cutoff frequency; determining the characteristic of each filtered electrical signal; generating an energy spectrum for the photon flux received as a function of the characteristic of the filtered electrical signals; and filtering the energy spectrum with a second low-pass filter whose cutoff frequency is adjusted as a function of the photon flux, the bigger the flux, the lower the cutoff frequency. | 06-12-2014 |
