-The basic optical design of the SONG spectrograph is pictured here. The light from the telescope exits a fiber and is focused onto a 50 micron slit. It then gets collimated by an [[song_spectrograph#off-axis parabolas|off-axis parabolic]] (OAP) mirror (CM1) before reaching the [[song_spectrograph#echelle grating|diffraction grating]].  After recollimation at the second OAP (CM2) it gets further dispersed by a prism before forming an image that falls on the detector after reimaging by an optical camera. The overall design is extremely compact.+The basic optical design of the SONG spectrograph is pictured here. The light from the telescope exits a fiber that is positioned vertically. The light is focused onto a 50 micron slit. It then hits FM1 at a 45 degree angle to the vertical. Then it gets collimated by an [[song_spectrograph#off-axis parabolas|off-axis parabolic]] (OAP) mirror (CM1) before reaching the [[song_spectrograph#echelle grating|diffraction grating]].  After recollimation at the second OAP (CM2) it gets further dispersed by a prism before forming an image that falls on the detector after reimaging by an optical camera.
