Method and system for detecting radiation

A method for detecting radiation, the method comprising:

• a. selecting two or more sensors operable to detect input radiation having a unique wavelength and to yield two or more sets of sensor data, each sensor comprising a detector and a filter, each filter associated with at most one detector;
• b. each sensor operable to sense radiation within a substantially similar wavelength range, each sensor having a different responsivity curve, a function of the responsivity curves yielding a combined function of the sets of sensor data;
• c. sensing the input radiation having a unique wavelength using the sensors in order to generate the sets of sensor data;
• d. computing the unique wavelength for the input radiation that is sensed using the sensors from the sets of sensor data according to the combined function, the unique wavelength computed by inputting the sets of sensor data into the combined function to yield an output corresponding to the unique wavelength;
• and
• e. displaying the wavelength.
