Spectrograph design fundamentals / J.F. James.

Call Number	535.84
Author	James, J. F. author.
Title	Spectrograph design fundamentals / J.F. James.
Physical Description	1 online resource (xii, 191 pages) : digital, PDF file(s).
Notes	Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015).
Contents	A brief history of spectroscopy -- The relevant regions of the electromagnetic spectrum -- Geometrical optics -- Optical aberrations -- Fourier transforms: a brief revision -- Physical optics and diffraction -- The prism spectrograph -- The plane grating spectrograph -- The concave grating spectrograph -- The interference spectrograph -- The multiple spectrometer -- Detectors -- Auxiliary optics -- Optical design -- Mechanical design and construction -- Calibration -- The alignment of a spectrograph -- Appendix 1. Optical aberrations -- Appendix 2. Wavelengths of spectral lines for calibration -- Appendix 3. The evolution of a Fabry-Perot interference spectrograph -- Appendix 4. The common calibration curve in silver halide spectrophotometry.
Summary	This book was first published in 2007, a time of enormous change in the field of optical spectrometry. Although the basic optical principles remained unchanged, the design considerations were very different and, in many cases, more demanding. Developments in computer ray-tracing and computer-aided design coped with the extra impositions and allowed the construction of a new generation of spectrographs. The book covers the general principles of spectrographic design at the time, and the practical and engineering aspects of a broad range of spectrographs and spectrometers. The book deals with materials and methods of construction and includes suggestions for the choice of optical table, the design of slit mechanisms, and adjustable mirror, grating and lens mounts, with suggestions for the alignment and calibration of the finished instrument.
Subject	Spectrograph Design and construction. Spectrometer Design and construction.
