Abstract
AbstractWe introduce a novel compact 4-channel beam splitter which is based on a combination of dichroic coatings and internal total reflection, similar in concept to the interference double prism invented by Kösters 90 years ago [1]. Used with a rapidly-slewing 50 cm telescope in space, this would allow to double the presently known gamma-ray bursts at high (> 5) redshift within 2 years.
