Abstract

PURPOSE:To simultaneously measure absorption spectra over the entire region from an ultraviolet region to a visible region, by providing a filter shielding ultraviolet rays to the front surface of the photodetector for detecting the visible region among the photodetectors of a photodiode array. CONSTITUTION:The window material 20 of a photodiode array 12 is divided into the part 12a of the element used in an ultraviolet region and the part 12b corresponding to a visible region and the boundary of both parts is set so as to come to the part of an element receiving light of 350-360nm. Coating 18 having a transmission spectrum shown by a drawing is applied to the part corresponding to the element on the side of the visible region of the surface of the window material 20. The transmission spectrum of this coating 1 has a characteristic shielding light having a wavelength shorter than 300nm but sufficiently transmitting light having a wavelength longer than 350nm. For example, the coating 18 can be realized by forming a dielectric layer film composed of zirconium oxide or SiO2 by a vapor deposition method. By this method, the absorbancies extending from the ultraviolet region to the visible region can be simultaneously measured.

Furthermore, in order to stabilize the baseline, a reference is often taken at a wavelength different from the wavelength to be measured. Especially when performing gradient analysis, it is necessary to take a reference to remove refractive index effects. In that case, if secondary light is not removed, a reference must be taken at a wavelength near the wavelength to be measured, but in the present invention, since secondary light is removed, a reference can be taken at any wavelength. This makes it possible to maximize the absorbance difference between the measurement wavelength and the reference wavelength.
