    摘要: A spectroscopic analysis device for analysis of a sample comprising:
    a photonic integrated circuit (PIC) comprising:
    an input (DEF) for receiving light from the sample; and
    a demultiplexer (DEMUX) arranged to distribute the received light into at least a first optical chain (C1) and a second optical chain (C2);
    wherein each optical chain (C1, C2) of the photonic integrated circuit (PIC) further comprises a tunable bandpass filter (TBF1, TBF2) and a photodetector (PD1, PD2) arranged respectively to filter and to detect the light distributed into its corresponding optical chain (C1, C2);
    wherein each optical chain (C1, C2) further comprises an integrator (INT1, INT2) configured to integrate an electrical output of the photodetector in its corresponding optical chain (C1, C2);
    wherein i) each tunable bandpass filter (TBF1, TBF2) is configured to receive control data indicative of a time period (T Filter ) during which the corresponding tunable bandpass filter (TBF1, TBF2) is arranged to filter a predetermined wavelength interval and/or ii) each integrator (INT1, INT2) is configured to receive control data indicative of a time period (T int ) during which the corresponding integrator is arranged to integrate an electrical output of its corresponding photodetector (PD1, PD2), such that the integration result of the corresponding integrator (INT1, INT2) is controlled based on the respective time period (T Filter , T int ).
