The spectral sensitivity is typically expressed as a QE Curve, in which the probability to detect a photon of a particular wavelength is expressed as a percentage.So for example if one in every 10 photons is detected this is expressed as a QE of 10%. The curve for a typical CCD is shown in the diagram on the below:
as defined the detection limit is a function of both signal strength or sensitivity and signal stability for a visual representation of the difference between sensitivity and detection limit refer to the signals below signals a and b represent the same concentration and give comparable absorbances or signal s the sensitivities are therefore the same
