Very fast transmissive spectrograph designs for highly multiplexed fiber spectroscopy

Instrumentation and Methods for Astrophysics 2016-12-14 v1

Abstract

Very fast (f/1.2 and f/1.35) transmissive spectrograph designs are presented for Hector and MSE. The designs have 61mm x 61mm detectors, 4 or 5 camera lenses of aperture less than 228mm, with just 6 air/glass surfaces, and rely on extreme aspheres for their imaging performance. The throughput is excellent, because of the i-line glasses used, the small number of air/glass surfaces.
