  • Double grating three dimensional spectrograph with multi-directional diffraction
    Patent number: 7265827
    Abstract: A spectrograph with a first concave spectrographic diffraction grating is positioned to receive light from an input light source. The first concave spectrographic diffraction grating is configured to provide a diffracted light output dispersing the components of the input light source in a first dispersion direction with a first angular orientation with respect to the plane of the grating. The dispersion forms the input light into an intermediate spectrum. The intermediate spectrum is formed in a focal surface by the once diffracted light. A slit is substantially positioned on the focal surface. A second concave diffraction grating is positioned to receive once diffracted light from the slit and configured to provide a twice diffracted light output, the second concave diffraction grating dispersing the components of the input light source in a second diffraction direction with a second angular orientation with respect to the plane of the grating.
