Abstract
A modified optical design for a broadband astigmatism-corrected Czerny–Turner spectrometer with high resolution and large throughput is presented. The theory of astigmatism correction is analyzed with the use of a bicylinder lens with different radii of curvature in tangential and sagittal planes. The optical performances of a modified spectrometer and two traditional spectrometers are compared in detail. The results show that the modified Czerny–Turner spectrometer can obtain superior astigmatism-free performance, an $f$-number of 2.5, and spectral resolution of 1.5 nm in 350–750 nm. Its volume decreases by approximately 77% compared with a traditional spectrometer with the same $f$-number.
