## Notice

A Zinc Selenide prism that is used to "pre-disperse" the science beam in a low resolution spectrometer to select a small range of wavelengths to be transmitted to the echelle grating in the main spectrometer optics. This will be carried out in two phases. The first is to develop and demonstrate the antireflection coating. The second is to manufacture the prism and apply the developed antireflection coating.
