Abstract
Initially the nature of the signal in photodetection spectroscopy is discussed and the implications for instrumentation examined. Since a major limitation of such spectroscopy is imperfections-in source or detector these are discussed and their effect demonstrated. The spectral estimators in time-delay space (the autocorrelation function) and the frequency domain (the periodogram) are demonstrated to be equivalent so that choice of either depends on engineering considerations. Finally a selection of instruments operating in either space are discussed and their particular advantages or drawbacks indicated culminating in some conclusions on the choice of suitable instrumentation for photodetection spectroscopy.
