Compact Reflective Imaging Spectrometer Design Utilizing An Immersed Grating And Anamorphic Mirror

Patent Lerner, Scott A [Corvalis, OR]

A compact imaging spectrometer comprising an entrance slit, an anamorphic mirror, a grating, and a detector array. The entrance slit directs light to the anamorphic mirror. The anamorphic mirror receives the light and directs the light to the grating. The grating receives the light from the anamorphic mirror and defracts the light back onto the anamorphic mirror. The anamorphic mirror focuses the light onto a detector array.
