To collect two different light waves, lenses and mirrors can be utilized to redirect and concentrate light. Photodetectors can measure a range of wavelengths, but using optical filters, single-mode fibers, or diffraction gratings can isolate specific wavelengths. For instance, light at 550 nm and 800 nm can be separated using respective filters before directing them to individual photodetectors. This setup allows for the measurement of intensities at each wavelength from a single light source. The method effectively enables the collection and analysis of multiple light waves with different wavelengths.
