A catadioptric dual waveband imaging spectrometer that covers the visible through short-wave infrared, and the midwave infrared spectral regions, dispersing the visible through shortwave infrared with a zinc selenide grating and midwave infrared with a sapphire prism. The grating and prism are at the cold stop position, enabling the pupil to be split between them. The spectra for both wavebands are focused onto the relevant sections of a single dual waveband detector. Spatial keystone distortion is controlled to less than one tenth of a pixel over the full wavelength range, facilitating the matching of the spectra in the midwave infrared with the shorter wavelength region. 1. A dual waveband imaging spectrometer , comprising:an entrance slit for transmitting light,a first dioptric lens,a mirror,a dispersing prism with a reflective coating,an immersion grating with a reflective coating,a second dioptric lens, anda dual waveband detector;said entrance slit, said first dioptric lens, said mirror, said dispersion prism, said immersion grating, said second dioptric lens, and said detector array positioned whereinsaid entrance slit transmits light to said first dioptric lens, which refracts light to said mirror, which reflects light back through said first dioptric lens to said dispersing prism and said immersion grating, and dispersed dual waveband light is focused through said first dioptric lens and said second dioptric lens to said dual waveband detector.2. The dual waveband imaging spectrometer of wherein said immersion grating includes a refractive face with curvature and disperses a wavelength claim 1 , and wherein said curvature of said refractive face provides the necessary power to form an achromatic correction with the said dioptric lenses and over said wavelength range of the immersion grating3. The dual waveband imaging spectrometer of wherein said immersion grating includes a focal surface and wherein said curvature of the said dispersion grating is adjusted ...
