Abstract

Specific astronomical science cases could take advantage of VPHG devices with design and features tailored for achieving the best performances. The manufacturing process require materials where it is possible to precisely control the efficiency response, specially in complex optical designs, where the realization tolerances have to be strictly fulfilled. In this paper, we present an innovative design for the DOLORES spectrograph @ TNG as an example of complex VPHG (in GRISM mode) based on photopolymers. This dispersing element and its prisms were designed to cover, with low R, more than one octave and to disentangle 1st and 2nd diffraction orders avoiding the typical contamination. The ok-sky results are finally presented.
