ABSTRACT:
An optical spectrograph utilizes a plurality of holographic transmission optical gratings operative to receive an incoming source of light to be analyzed and diffract the light such that different spectral components impinge upon spatially separated regions of an opto-electronic detector. Various grating configurations are disclosed, including a physical stack of gratings conducive to extreme compactness, as well as a spaced-apart configuration used to preclude spectral cross talk in certain configurations. Diverging light emerging from a fiber-optic bundle is collimated by a first lens assembly prior to passing through the gratings, and a second lens assembly is used to focus the diffracted light onto the detectors, preferably in the form of a two-dimensional CCD array.
