Claim 0:
1. A spectrometer device comprising:
at least one filter element adapted to separate at least one incident light beam into a spectrum of constituent wavelength;
at least one sensor element having a matrix of optical sensors, the optical sensors each having a light-sensitive area, wherein each optical sensor is configured to generate at least one sensor signal in response to an illumination of the light-sensitive area by at least one light beam propagating from at least one object to the spectrometer, wherein at least one first optical sensor of the optical sensors is adapted to generate a first sensor signal in response to illumination by a first constituent wavelength and wherein at least one second optical sensor of the optical sensors is adapted to generate a second sensor signal in response to an illumination by the first constituent wavelength; and
at least one evaluation device configured for determining at least one longitudinal coordinate of the at least one object by evaluating a combined signal from the first sensor signal and the second sensor signal, wherein the evaluation device is configured for evaluating at least one sensor signal generated by the optical sensors of the matrix of optical sensor by performing at least one spectroscopic analysis considering the determined longitudinal coordinate, wherein the combined signal is derived by one or more of: forming a quotient of the first signal and the second signal or vice versa; forming a quotient of a multiple of the first signal and a multiple of the second signal or vice versa; forming a quotient of a linear combination of the first signal and a linear combination of the second signal or vice versa; and forming a quotient of a first linear combination of the first signal and the second signal and a second linear combination of the first signal and the second signal.
