The Carbon Plume Mapper (CPM) instrument is a high-fidelity imaging spectrometer developed to pinpoint, quantify, and track methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) point source emissions. CPM is an optically fast F/1.8 Dyson spectrometer that operates over the spectral range of 400 – 2500 nm with a spectral sampling of 5.0 nm. Three diffraction grating designs were measured in a testbed to provide a reliable prediction of grating performance in a Dyson system to inform CPM grating design. This paper will detail the gratings, testbed design, measurement process, and data used to assess grating efficiency through wavelength (500-1700 nm) of three grating designs, both full aperture and sub-aperture for two field angles, polarized and unpolarized.
