We describe the integral field spectroscopy (IFS) capability of the Gemini Near-infrared Spectrograph (GNIRS) installed on the Gemini-South telescope. This makes use of the Advanced Image Slicer (AIS) optical concept of Content. Image slicing is, in... Read More about New techniques for integral field spectroscopy - I.

Cryogenic tests of volume-phase holographic gratings: results at 100 K. (2006)
Journal Article
Tamura, N., Murray, G., Luke, P., Blackburn, C., Robertson, D., Dipper, N., …Allington-Smith, J. (2006). Cryogenic tests of volume-phase holographic gratings: results at 100 K. Applied optics, 45(23), 5923-5928. https://doi.org/10.1364/ao.45.005923

We present results from cryogenic tests of volume-phase holographic (VPH) gratings at ∼100  K∼100  K. The aims of these tests are to see whether the diffraction efficiency as a function of wavelength is significantly different at a low temperature fr...
