Abstract
High resolution spectroscopy experiments with visible adaptive optics (AO) telescopes at Starfire Optical Range and Mt. Wilson have demonstrated that spectral resolution can be routinely improved by a factor of approx. 10 over the seeing-limited case with no extra light losses at visible wavelengths. An account is given on the progress on a newly developed AO optimized high resolution optical spectrograph at Steward Observatory. The progress on a compact infrared (IR) high resolution spectrograph with silicon immersion echelle gratings being developed at LLNL is also discussed.
