Disclosed is a
spectrometer device (110) for obtaining
spectroscopy information about at least one object (112), the
spectrometer device comprising: at least one
detector (114) for detecting light; at least one
light source (118) configured to emit light in at least one optical spectral range; at least one sample interface (120) configured to allow light emitted by the
light source (118) to exit the
spectrometer device (110) through the sample interface (120) and configured to allow detection light to enter the spectrometer device (110) through the sample interface (120), where the sample interface (120) comprises at least one optical element configured to receive light emitted by the
light source (118) from the spectrometer device (110), the at least one optical element is configured to provide at least one internal calibration target; at least one light path (122), where the light path (122) is configured for allowing light emitted by the light source (118) to propagate to the sample interface (120) and for allowing detection light to propagate to the
detector (114), where the light path (122) is further configured for allowing light emitted by the light source (118) to propagate to the internal calibration target, and for allowing a reference emission to be directed by the internal calibration target to the
detector (114). The spectrometer device (110) is configured to separate the reference emission and the detection light from each other by polarization
multiplexing. The spectrometer device (110) is configured for I. (138) illumination through the sample interface (120) via the at least one light path (122) with light having a first polarization to obtain at least one first detector
signal associated with the detection light; iI. (140) illuminating the internal calibration target with light having a second polarization different from the first polarization via the light path (122) to obtain at least one calibration
signal related to the reference emission; and III. (142) determining at least one calibration information item by using the first detector
signal and the calibration signal.
