Solving Resolution-Bandwidth Trade-off in Holographic Spectrometers using Multiplexed Cylindrical Beam Volume Holograms

Abstract

Holographic spectrometers using cylindrical beam volume holograms are presented with several advantages over conventional spectrometers. We specially show that these spectrometers can be designed to solve the well-known problem of resolution-bandwidth trade-off in conventional spectrometers through the use of optimally designed multiplexed volume holograms.
