Scientific paper

An instrumental concept for a Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) employing grazing-incidence optics for the study of the 100 to 1500-A region of the spectrum is proposed. Design parameters for extreme ultraviolet (EUV) and far ultraviolet (FUV) grazing-incidence telescopes and for high-sensitivity EUV-FUV spectrographs using grazing-incidence optics are explored in detail. Different instrument types are discussed in view of requirements of effective field of view, aperture, maximum length from primary-mirror front to focus, minimum secondary-mirror size, minimum throughput, and spectral resolution. A single instrument capable of covering the EUV-FUV range with resolutions of from 2000 to 100,000 (lambda/Delta lambda) is described, consisting of a Wolter-Schwarzschild-Type-II telescope and a collimator system feeding a four-mode spectrograph (cross-disperser, grazing-incidence-echelle, grazing-cross-dispersor-hybrid, and Wadsworth-hybrid gratings feeding a single camera system and detector). This design of FUSE is intended to complement both the Space Telescope and the Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer.
