A deconvolution method for spectroscopy

Abstract

Deconvolution techniques currently available for application in spectroscopy must presuppose a known system response function. An inexactly presupposed response function can degrade the obtainable resolution of instruments. In this paper we propose a practical method of blind deconvolution that can eliminate such an irrational presupposition. Simulations show that an improved resolution of instruments can be achieved by this new method. An advantage of the method is that it is easily implemented in an on-line way or by using modern digital signal processors.
