New plane grating monochromator with off-axis parabolical mirrors

The design of a new plane grating monochromator is described. The system employs off-axis parabolical mirrors both in the collimator and the camera. The entrance and exit slits lie on the same side of the grating and are curved to obtain the invariance of the curvature of the spectral lines with res...
