Atmospheric transmittance, filter response functions, and blaze functions

Figure 26 shows atmospheric transmittance from 1.0 $ \mu$m to 5.5 $ \mu$m, response functions of the order sort filters, and blaze functions of the echelle and cross-disperser gratings.

The atmospheric transmittance for the Mauna Kea summit was calculated from 1.0 $ \mu$m to 5.5 $ \mu$m by `ATRAN' program of Load (1992). The blaze function depends on the incident angle toward the grating. Figure 26 $ c$ and $ d$ show the blaze functions at the nominal setting angle, $ \alpha_e =$ 67$ .^{\circ }$5 and $ \alpha_c =$ 24$ .^{\circ }$0 for the echelle and cross-disperser, respectively.
