Gray wedge (GW) techniques lead to a straight-forward quantitative interpretation of photographed PA spectra.</p><p>The simplest version of a fast GW spectrometer consists of a commercial oscilloscope and a special plug-in adaptor unit.

This simple GW spectrometer is particularly useful at high counting rates (up to 10⁵ counts/sec).</p><p>For a more general use (at both high and low intensities) additional parts such as pulse stretches, gating circuits and various sweep or wedge arrangements are needed (§ 3.4). Stretching and gating requirements will be discussed from a general point of view, and details of circuits used at the ETH will be presented in §§ 3.5 through 3.7. Various methods of producing GW effects are reviewed and the calculated wedge characteristics and light efficiencies compared (§ 3.8). Advantages of the electronic type of GW are the freedom from light losses, simplicity of construction, and versatility in selecting different wedge characteristics. Photographic procedures (§ 3.10) include the use of a printing process to obtain easy-to-read graphs of the PA spectra. Empirical calibration is described in §§ 3.11 and 3.12, and the sources of deviations from the calculated behaviour are discussed.</p><p>Absolute intensity evaluation from GW pictures is made possible, as shown in section 4, if the spectrometer is equipped with a few electronic counting channels and an automatic channel limit marker to establish the correspondence between the photographic curve and the channel counts.
