Dispersive Spectrometers Employing Gratings

Detection and Spectrometry of Faint Light

Abstract

Combined classically (Section 1.14) with the optical telescopes around the world are a diversity of spectrographs with single entrance slits which employ either low or high-order blazed reflection gratings as their dispersive elements. Their general aim is to record the spectrum of the light passing through the single entrance slit in the focal plane of a telescope in several spatial and a large number of spectral elements simultaneously. Wavelength resolutions, R, anywhere between 102 to 105 are encountered in the use of these spectrographs.
