Echelle Gratings

 

UCLES has two gratings, one with 31.6 and the other with 79 lines mm, both producing the same dispersion. The 79 lines mm grating has 2.5 times the free spectral range (FSR) and order separation, but less complete wavelength coverage. The resolving element in UHRF is a 31.6 lines mm R2 204408 mm echelle grating, blazed at 64.95 (measured). See appendices gif, gif, and gif for tabulations of order separations.
