Abstract: The present disclosure concerns a spectrometer (10) and method for generating a two dimensional spectrum (S). The spectrometer (10) comprises a main grating (3) and cross dispersion element (2). An imaging mirror (4) is arranged for reflecting and focussing dispersed radiation (R3) from the main grating (3) towards an image plane (IP) for imaging the two dimensional spectrum (S) onto an image plane (IP) of the spectrometer (10). A correction lens (6) is arranged for correcting optical aberrations in the imaging of the two dimensional spectrum (S) in the image plane (IP). The imaging mirror (4) and correction lens (6) have a coinciding axis of cylindrical symmetry (AS).

Abstract: The present disclosure concerns a monolithic spectrometer for spectrally resolving light. The spectrometer comprises a body of solid material having optical surfaces arranged to guide the light along an optical path inside the body. A collimating surface and focusing surface are part of a single surface having a continuous optically functional shape. The surfaces of the body are arranged to have a third or fourth part of the optical path between a grating surface and an exit surface cross with a first part of the optical path between an entry surface and a collimating surface.

Abstract: The present disclosure concerns a monolithic spectrometer (1) for spectrally resolving light (R). The spectrometer (1) comprises a body (2) of solid material having optical surfaces (3, 4, 5, 6, 8) arranged to guide the light (R) along an optical path (E1, E2, E3, E4) inside the body (2). A collimating surface (4) and focusing surface (6) are part of a single surface having a continuous optically functional shape. The surfaces (3,4,5,6,8) of the body (2) are arranged to have a third or fourth part (E3, E4) of the optical path between a grating surface (5) and an exit surface (8) cross (C) with a first part (E1) of the optical path between an entry surface (3) and a collimating surface (4).
