This specification describes the different circuits that are available to amplify the photodetector signal. Each amplifier circuit has its own signal gain and response time.
A high sensitivity corresponds to a high-gain circuit with a relatively slow time response (long integration time), resulting in a relatively slow sweep speed. This setting is important for applications involving a very weak input signal.
On the other hand, a low sensitivity setting offers a fast sweep speed with a trade-off on the signal gain.
Measures the power intensity of light across different wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum.
