Figure 3
Scheme of a clessidra half-lens operated behind a beam-limiting aperture. The spectral resolution and the spectral purity behind this lens can be adjusted by translating it perpendicularly to the incident beam in the direction y (double-headed arrows). With sufficiently wide prisms the photon energy can be tuned in a stationary exit slit when the lens is rotated by the angle α around the vertical axis y. |
