-1- SPECTRORADIOMETER AND SPECTROPHOTOMETER ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE To provide sufficient sensitivity, spectral resolution and speed of measurement for field environmental measurements in a por- table spectroradiometer, a silicon photodiode receives light: (1) having a bandwidth in the range of between 2 and 15 nm (nanometers) from a pivotable concave holographic diffraction grating within the wavelength range of between 250 and 1150 nm at a scanning rate in the range of 20 to 100 nm per second; (2) having stray light of high intensity and undesired frequencies and the shorter wavelength harmonics of the selected frequency range blocked by filters; and (3) having flux of at least 10 microwatts per square meter of diffuser plate for each nanometer of bandwidth. Automatic electrical zeroing is obtained by blocking all light once at the beginning of each scan, obtaining an electri- cal drift-related signal and using the drift signal to adjust the measured signal during the scan. Several dif- ferent sensing interfaces can be used, including a quartz, light fiber probe having at least a 50% packing density and a cone angle of at least 24 degrees. The data and the pro- gramming storage is at least 30K bytes but the instrument uses no more than two watts of power when the instrument is not scanning.
