  • Experimental verification of calculations using a custom-built monochromator.

    • Main Results:

    • The theory allows for the elimination of coma-type aberration at a chosen wavelength.
    • Optimum instrumental constants and performance estimations are provided.
    • Experimental results validated the theoretical predictions for aberration elimination at 3000 A.

    Conclusions:

    • The Seya, Namioka, and Sai theory offers a practical approach to designing Monk-Gillieson monochromators with reduced aberrations.
    • The study provides valuable data for optical engineers designing high-performance monochromators.
    • Comparison with Schroeder-type monochromators highlights the advantages of this design approach.
