Measuring light at the photodiode array

1-7

Photodiodes discharged by light

The detector measures the amount of charge required to recharge each

photodiode. The charge is proportional to the amount of light transmitted

through the flow cell over the interval specified by the diode exposure time.

Optimizing the signal-to-noise ratio

To optimize signal-to-noise ratios, choose an acquisition wavelength range

that includes only the wavelengths of interest. Ensure that the range is one in

which the mobile phase absorbs only minimally (see

Appendix C

). You can

further improve the signal-to-noise ratio by increasing the bandwidth

parameter. For example, you can choose to operate at 3.6 nm instead of at

1.2 nm resolution. See

page 1-10

for more information.

Optimizing filter constants

The filtering constant you select affects the peak intensity. To increase

sensitivity, decrease the filter time constant.

Selecting the appropriate sampling rate

A sufficient number of points must fall across a peak to define its shape. Thus,

the definition between peaks is lost at very low sampling rates. Empower uses

Mirror
