Wayne R. McKinney and Christopher Palmer, "Numerical design method for aberration-reduced concave grating spectrometers," Appl. Opt. 26, 3108-3118 (1987)
A general method is described for the design of single concave grating optical systems. Proper parameter and variable sets are defined, and a straightforward technique leads to a final set of optimized variable values which minimize a merit function based on spectroscopic performance.
