A
spectrometer apparatus (110) and method of obtaining
spectroscopy information about at least one object (112) are disclosed. The
spectrometer device (110) comprises: at least one
light source (114) for generating illumination light (116) for illuminating the object (112), the
light source (114) comprising at least one
light emitting diode (118) and at least one
luminescent material (120) for converting primary light generated by the
light emitting diode (118) into secondary light; ii. At least one
broadband detector (128) for detecting detection light (130) within a spectral range at least partially comprising a spectral range of the primary light and the secondary light, the
broadband detector (128) is configured to generate at least one primary
detector signal upon detection of the detection light (130) within the spectral range of the primary light, where the
broadband detector (128) is further configured to generate at least one secondary detector
signal upon detection of the detection light (130) within the spectral range of the secondary light; and iii. At least one evaluation unit (136) for evaluating the primary detector
signal and the secondary detector signal generated by the broadband detector (128), for determining
responsivity information (137) about the broadband detector (128) from one of the primary detector signal or the secondary detector signal, and for deriving
spectroscopy information about the object (112) from the other of the primary detector signal or the secondary detector signal by taking into account
responsivity information (137) about the broadband detector (128).
