RISTRETTO: Seven Spaxels Single Mode Spectrograph Design [IMA]

http://arxiv.org/abs/2208.14875


The RISTRETTO project is aiming to build an instrument that will detect the reflected light from close-by exoplanet. It is a two stage instrument: An extreme AO system in the visible, followed by a seven spaxel single mode High resolution Spectrograph. In this paper we present the design of this spectrograph: a classical echelle spectrograph fed with single mode fibers. Standard single mode fibers have been chosen and are forming a long tilted slit in order to have the right order spacing on the detector. The instrument will be under vacuum and thermally controlled in order to make it stable.
