Abstract

Aspera is a NASA Pioneers SmallSat mission designed to detect and map the O VI emission (1032 Å) through long-slit spectroscopy in the halos of nearby galaxies for the first time. The spectrograph utilizes toroidal gratings with multilayer coatings of aluminum, lithium fluoride, and magnesium fluoride that optimize their throughput in the extreme ultraviolet EUV waveband of 1030 to 1040 Å. We discuss the grating verification test setup design, including optical alignment and reference measurement setup. We also present grating testing and grating efficiency simulation results using the target grating groove profile and the multi-layer coatings.
