Abstract
The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope Coronagraph Instrument (CGI) will demonstrate spectroscopy of planets and polarization measurements of disks. The spectroscopy and polarization modes utilize Amici and Wollaston prism designs. The spectroscopy mode, designed and built and Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), has a resolution of R50 in 15% bands centered at 660nm and 730nm. The Wollaston design and optics are contributed by the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency, with final alignment and testing at GSFC. We present the requirements, ground-to-orbit calibration, and deployable slit operations. We also detail on the design, results from the as-built flight assemblies.
