1. A method for determining a characteristic of a flame, comprising:
- monitoring a flame across a contiguous spectral range to detect light emitted by the flame;
segmenting the contiguous spectral range into a plurality of discrete ranges; and
respectively processing the detected light across each of one or more of the plurality of discrete ranges to determine at least one characteristic of the flame.

Abstract
Techniques for determining a characteristic of a flame are provided by the present invention. Provided are methods as well as devices. A flame is monitored across a contiguous spectral range to detect light emitted by the monitored flame. The contiguous spectral range is segmented into a plurality of discrete ranges, and detected light across each of the one or more of the plurality of discrete ranges is respectively processed to determine at least one characteristic of the flame.
