Abstract
A change of the approach to the problem is proposed based on the general results of information theory and signal detection for the detection of traces of the substance and the measurement of its very low concentrations. The total spectrum of an element is treated as a complicated signal that carries an information on the concentration of the substance, the general structure of the entire spectrum of the material is assumed to be known. The amount of information obtained in the spectroscopic experiment aimed on the detection of the substance is estimated from the point of view of the theory of information and communication, and the general structure of spectral system narrowly concentrated on the optimization of measurements is suggested. A variant of the diffraction grating that implements the multi-component spectral filtering is analyzed.
