Studies on the spectral width, monochromatic degree and spectral resolving power of prism monochromator

Abstract

The angular width and geometric line width in the spectral plane for the output incoherent imaging spectral line are discussed respectively on the basis of structure of prism monochromator, the relationship between the spectral width and line width of output incoherent imaging spectral line in the spectral plane is presented. The expression of monochromatic degree of output light in the exit slit plane is presented. The spectral resolving power of incoherent imaging spectral line and coherent imaging spectral line of the diffractive waves are discussed respectively, and the expressions of the spectral resolving power are presented respectively.
