Cross Dispersing Gratings (UHRF only)

 

Once dispersed by the echelle, light in UHRF passes back through the collimator again and converges as it returns towards the slicer, with a beam separation of 2. A secondary collimator recollimates the beam at a smaller diameter, onto grating cross dispersers. There is a choice of four gratings blazed for different wavebands: U (2400 lines mm), B (1800 lines mm), V (1200 lines mm), and R (1200 lines mm).
