Abstract
A system for detecting radiation is disclosed. The system comprises sensors (102 and 104) operable to sense input radiation and generate sets of sensor data that yield a unique wavelength for the radiation. a processing module (108) receives the sets of sensor data and determines the wavelength for the radiation from the sets of sensor data. A four-step method for detecting radiation is also disclosed. Step one provides for selecting sensors (102 and 104) that detect input radiation and generate two or more sets of sensor data that yield a unique wavelength for the radiation. Step two calls for sensing input radiation using sensors (102 and 104) to generate sets of sensor data. Step three provides for computing a wavelength from the sets of sensor data using a processing module (108). The last step calls for displaying the wavelength using a display (136).
