ABSTRACT:
Light is made incident on a pair of photo-sensors having different sensitivity characteristics. One of them has higher spectroscopic sensitivity than the other within a specified range of wavelength, but the other has spectroscopic sensitivity over a wider range of wavelength than this specified range. Both of the photo-sensors are adjusted so as to have approximately same photo-sensitivity against external background light. A difference current with intensity equal to the difference between the currents generated by this pair of photo-sensors is obtained by a subtraction circuit and is compressed by a compression circuit by a specified ratio, and the compressed current thus obtained is outputted.
