Abstract
High spectral resolution, excellent imaging quality, and compact configuration have become a recent trend in push-broom imaging spectrometers. The concentric Offner imaging spectrometer has become popular due to its high optical performance and compactness. However, astigmatism is the dominant residual aberration in the Offner imaging spectrometer, which makes the meridional and sagittal images unable to be focused well and causes a deterioration in image quality and spectral resolution. In this paper, we present a compact Offner imaging spectrometer with a high resolution based on an aberration-reduced convex holographic grating (ACHG), which is recorded by spherical waves under Rowland circle mounting. The holographic aberration coefficients of ACHG and geometric aberration coefficients of the Offner imaging spectrometer are derived based on the analysis of the light-path function. Furthermore, we analyzed the relationship between holographic aberration coefficients and holographic recording parameters of ACHG under Rowland circle mounting. To balance the geometric aberration of the Offner imaging spectrometer, proper holographic aberration coefficients of the ACHG are achieved through adjusting the holographic recording parameters. The design result indicated that the Offner imaging spectrometer with ACHG provides better images than those with mechanically ruled convex grating (MRCG). Moreover, the spectral resolution is significantly improved. This lays down a theoretical basis for subsequent construction work in the Offner imaging spectrometer with holographic aberration-reduced gratings.
