Abstract
The general equations for parameters of concave grating mounts that pr ovide stationary and superstationary astigmatism at the wavelength of correction are derived for the first time, to the best of our knowledg e. These can be used to design grating multi/demultiplexers for wavele ngth-division multiplexed optical communication systems and high-resol ution, narrow-band spectrographs. Important special cases of stationar y anastigmatic mounts and their performance are presented. (C) 1997 Op tical Society of America.
