Abstract:
A spectrograph that includes camera focusing optics with a primary mirror having a concave-shaped reflective mirror surface, a secondary mirror having a convex-shaped reflective mirror surface and positioned to receive light reflected by the primary mirror, a tertiary mirror having a concave reflective mirror surface and positioned to receive light reflected by the secondary mirror, and a field correcting lens comprising a convex lens surface in combination with a concave lens surface, wherein light received by said field correcting lens from said tertiary mirror enters said convex lens surface, traverses said field correcting lens, and exits from said concave lens surface. The optional field correcting lens is positioned such that the primary mirror, secondary mirror, tertiary mirror, and the field correcting lens share the common parent vertex axis.
