The invention relates to a rapid
spectrograph and a measuring method thereof. The rapid
spectrograph comprises a rapid spectrum analyzing
system for measuring the spectrum power distribution of a
light source to be measured; an optical
signal acquisition device for acquiring and transmitting an optical
signal to the rapid spectrum analyzing
system is connected with the rapid spectrum analyzing
system; and the rapid spectrum analyzing system and a
microcontroller are in electric connection. The invention is characterized by also comprising a reference probe for measuring the photometric quantity or the
radiation measurement of the
light source to be measured; and the reference probe and the
microcontroller are in electric connection by a
signal converting circuit which can convert an
analog signal into a
digital signal. The rapid
spectrograph and the measuring method utilize the reference probe to realize the
linear measurement of the photometric quantity or the
radiation measurement in a large-span
dynamic range and correct a measuring result of the probe to an exact value by utilizing the measuring result of optical
spectroscopy. Various known standard values are stored in a computer for transferring in correction to correct a measured value; therefore, the measuring precision can be effectively improved.
