Hook method: improvement and simplification of the experimental setup

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The conventional experimental setup used to measure anomalous dispersion by the hook method has been modified by replacing the spectrograph by a single grating in combination with a camera. The grating is used for diffraction angles close to π/2 rad, and the focal distance for projection of the hook spectrum is 4 m. The high dispersion thus obtained (typically 200 mm/nm) considerably facilitates the use of the hook method for diagnostic purposes. Further, it is demonstrated that, for such large diffraction angles, a focusing element after diffraction at the grating can be avoided without losing too much sharpness in the hook spectrum.
