Abstract
An optical device for the spectral analysis of a light source which comprises a spectrograph assembly including a dispersive element, and a classical collimator. The spectrograph assembly supplies a complete intermediate spectrum at the object focus of the classical collimator and the classical collimator reforms, at its image focus, an image of the dispersive element. The spectrograph assembly is preferably a Czerny-Turner or other type of spectrograph comprising an entry slit, two juxtaposed concave mirrors of the same focal length and a dispersive element placed strictly in the common focal plane of the two mirrors. Most preferably, the classical collimator is the first mirror of the second, similar spectrograph assembly. The device is most advantageous in that it is readily useable for both simultaneous and sequential spectroscopy.
