Abstract:

We present the optical and mechanical design of the KMOS spectrograph module together with a detailed analysis of its performance. KMOS is a cryogenic near-infrared multi-object spectrograph being developed as a second-generation instrument for the VLT by a consortium of UK and German institutes. Three identical spectrograph modules provide Nyquist sampled spectra in the wavelength range covering the atmospheric bands z, J, H, and K with a resolving power exceeding 3200. The spectrographs are fully achromatic over the bands and the single mirror collimator and six-element camera, together with six high efficiency gratings provide high throughput. The optical performance analysis includes amongst others the spectral resolving power and variation of the PSF as a function of the pupil illumination.
