Abstract

Abstract A spectrograph for an extended spectral field having an inlet slot for defining a source of light to be analyzed and a dispersive system constituted by a concave holographic grating which has recording points with coordinates in relation with the coordinates of the light source to be analyzed to produce for each of respective bands of wavelengths, which in total cover the entire range of wavelengths of the spectral field to be analyzed, tangential focal lines for different wavelengths which are disposed in the same plane. The concave holographic grating is rotatable around an axis passing through the center of the grating and perpendicular to a plane passing through the center of the inlet slot so that the respective partial plane diffraction spectra are successively formed in the same plane when rotating the grating around its axis.

Claim 1
Independent Claim 136 words
A spectrograph for an extended spectral field, including an inlet slot for defining a source of light to be analyzed, and a dispersive system consisting solely of a concave holographic grating, said grating having registration points with coordinates in relation with the coordinates of the light source to be analyzed to produce, for each of respective different bands of wavelengths which in total cover the entire range of wavelengths of the spectral field to be analyzed, tangential focal lines for different wavelengths which are disposed in the same plane, said grating being rotatable around an axis passing through the center of the grating and perpendicular to a plane passing through the center of the inlet slot whereby respective partial planar diffraction spectra are successively formed in the same plane when rotating the grating around said axis.
