The detector Sample Clauses

The detector. Detectors come in different forms and it is not the scope of this document to delve in the different issues that different technologies have in their implementation for a testbed such as this one. It is however implicit that one of the biggest issues with general photometry is that of non-linear behaviour. In Fourier transform spectroscopy, non-linear behaviour has one advantage of being relatively “easy” to identify given that it manifests itself in replications at higher frequencies of the original spectra features. Of course this has the potential of confusing the observer in the spectral retrieval, but changing the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ frequency for similar experiments usually suffices to identify them (while removing the effects is altogether a different matter). Combining this effect with spatial modulation is however a test we have not yet been faced with given the linearity of the detectors used. The very planning of this deliverable was initially due to the expectation of observing such features. Future experiments could attempt to increase power levels substantially to generate non- linearities.
