Abstract

Many existing astronomical spectrographs have been retrofitted with volume phase holographic gratings (VPHGs), since at higher line density they are significantly more efficient than surface relief transmission gratings. Designing the spectrograph around the VPHG offers additional advantages. In this paper we describe slanted fringe VPHG that are considered as cross-disperser / beam expander in high-resolution echelle spectrographs for the Combined Incoherent Focus of the VLT and the E-ELT. We will present simulations of diffraction efficiency of slanted fringe VPHGs that explore the useful parameter space of these devices in terms of efficiency, line density and anamorphic beam expansion.
