Spectrometer and analysis apparatus

Abstract

The invention relates to a spectrometer having a plurality of dispersive optical elements arranged such that electromagnetic radiation entering into the spectrometer is incident on the dispersive optical elements to be split spectrally there; the dispersive optical elements differ from one another with respect to their spatial positions and/or their spectral splitting capabilities; the dispersive optical elements are arranged such that the spectra generated by the respective dispersive optical elements by the splitting of the electromagnetic radiation extend in the same direction and are adjacent to one another transversely to this direction of the spectral splitting; and a detector resolving spatially in two dimensions and being located in the optical path of the split electromagnetic radiation for the detection of at least some respective part sections of the spectra. The invention furthermore relates to an analysis apparatus for determining absorption properties of solid, liquid or gaseous substances or substance mixtures.
