Hello everyone,
In my spectral data, there is some problem due to scatter light, the problem is even after flat correction, there is still some scatter light and this scatter light changes my result drastically. This is very urgent so please help me out to get rid of this scatter light from my spectral data. Please give me some ideas or some routines that performs this correction.
thanking you in advance
sid

Median filter.

Hello sir,
In my data there is a change in intensity along the wavelength axis. And I have to correct for this change in intensity.
Can I use median filter for this kind of a scenario.
thanking you

This seems to be a different problem from what you reported yesterday.
Why don't you just fit the intensity with a curve and subtract the
fitted intensity from your data.

Cheers,

David

This sounds more like a technical (methodological) question than an IDL question? Maybe it would be better to ask elsewhere? Or, post a more detailed description of what you are trying to do.

Scattered light (or stray light - the terms are sometimes used interchangeably and sometimes mean slightly different things) can in general not be removed unless you know something about its characteristics. Is it just an added constant level? Or is it a purely additive but wavelength dependent component? Or, even worse, does the stray light depend on the object? In astronomical imaging, one useful model is that the observed image consist of two components: the "real" image and a blurred version of the real image. The problem then boils down to estimating the blurring kernel. You mention "wavelength axis" so I assume you also have one (or two?) spatial dimension(s).

Anyway, do you have any calibration data that might provide such information?
