Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

B.1.1

What is a spectroradiometer?

Spectrograph

 - An optical instrument for forming the spectrum of a light 

source and recording it on a film. The dispersing medium may be a prism or a 
diffraction grating. This term was common prior to the digital age. ASD 
instruments do not use film.

Spectrometer

 - An optical instrument which uses detectors other than 

photographic film to measure the distribution of radiation in a particular 
wavelength region. All ASD instruments are spectrometers.

Spectroradiometer

 - An optical instrument for measuring the radiant energy 

(radiance or irradiance) from a source at each wavelength throughout the 
spectrum. A spectroradiometer is a special kind of spectrometer. 

Note:

Only the FieldSpec spectrometer is configured as a 
spectroradiometer. The reason is that the fiberoptic cable significantly 
affects the calibration required to measure radiance. The FieldSpec 
instrument has a fixed fiberoptic cable routed directly through the 
front panel to the internal spectrometers, while the other ASD 
spectrometers are designed to detach and even interchange fiberoptic 
cables. To be meaningful, radiance measurements with 
non-FieldSpec instruments would have to be performed using the 

same fiberoptic cable 

and the 

same connector orientation

 of 

the plugged in fiberoptic cable 

as the factory calibration

.

The SWIR component of the ASD spectrometer is a 

scanning spectrometer

, 

while the VNIR component is an 

array spectrometer

.
