Abstract
The invention relates to an optical system, to a spectrometer device comprising such optical system and to a method to operate such an optical system comprising an entrance aperture for entering primary light containing both a first, lower wavelength range and a second, higher wavelength range into said optical system, a grating for spectral dispersion of the primary light beam into a first fan of diffracted light within the first wavelength range and a primary zero order light beam, a mirror element suitably positioned to reflect the primary zero order light beam back as secondary light beam to the grating where it is dispersed into a second fan of diffracted light within the second wavelength range, a detector arrangement with detectors, an absorber element to be reversibly placed within the primary zero order light beam, and a filter element to be reversibly placed within the primary light beam.
