Optical measurement method and system

An optical measurement method comprising the steps of:

• receiving from an operator desired wavelengths, their weighted importance and maximum measurement time,
• measuring by a spectrometer or a Fabry-Perot interferometer the spectrum at the desired wavelengths with minimum gain,
• increasing the gain at each wavelength so much that the overall signal level is about 90% of the maximum amplitude, and
• increasing the measurement time with the desired weighted importance such that the desired maximum measurement time is reached.

An optical measurement system comprising means for:

• illuminating an object by light,
• receiving light from the illuminated object to a tunable Fabry-Perot interferometer,
• changing the mirror gap of the Fabry-Perot interferometer,
• detecting the signal passed through the mirror gap of the Fabry-Perot interferometer at different gap lengths, and
• performing the detection at different lengths of times at different gap lengths.
