Abstract: A spectroscope includes a light source, at least one static optical element for manipulating or structuring light, at least two adaptive optical elements and at least one detector. The at least two adaptive optical elements are configured to partition an optical function of spectral sorting from at least one of the following optical function: routing, attenuation, and/or encoding. The light source, the at least one static optical element, and the at least two adaptive optical elements are configured to direct light from the light source into first and second distinct light channels, the first light channel containing a sample to be analyzed.
