A miniature spectroradiometer for dosimetry is proposed. The design goal is a small and easily portable device which is intended to be used with and operated by a personal computer or a single-board computer. It has several applications. It may be used as a general purpose spectroradiometer in the ultraviolet, visible, and near infrared spectral regions capable of measuring different optical radiation hazards or other wavelength-dependent effects or phenomena. It may therefore operate as a radiometer, dosimeter or hazard monitor, with user-defined spectral response. Or, it may be used as a spectral monitor for feedback infor- mation on tissue response to (laser-) irradiation. The spectroradiometer is primarily intended to analyze broad-band radiation with compactness and speed of response as priority items.
