Proposal for aberration-corrected imaging spectrograph
Abstract:
We propose a novel flat-field imaging spectrograph that consists of two plane gratings, four spherical mirrors, and two plane mirrors. The imaging spectrograph is designed in such a manner that the primary and the secondary principal points of the whole optical system for the horizontal direction coincide with those for the vertical direction. In a paraxial approximation, it is essentially aberration free because an entrance slit and an imaging detector are placed on the primary and the secondary principal planes, respectively. Spot diagrams obtained from ray-tracing procedures have indicated that the proposed spectrograph is superior to the conventional Czerny-Turner mounting.

Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy: Interference
Spectral interference occurs when signals from other elements or molecules overlap with the analyte signal, falsely elevating or masking the analyte's absorbance. This interference can be corrected using Zeeman,...
