Spectral characterization of the Grism and Prism slitless spectrometers for the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope

The Roman Space Telescope Grism and Prism assemblies will allow the wide-field instrument (WFI) to perform slitless, multi-object spectroscopy across the complete field of view. These optical elements play a critical role in the High Latitude Wide Area and High Latitude Time Domain Surveys, which are designed to produce robust spectroscopic redshifts for millions of objects over the mission lifetime. To facilitate the characterization of these assemblies, a dedicated test bed was designed and utilized to perform a wide variety of spectroscopic measurements over the full range of operational wavelengths and field angles. Characterized features include, but are not limited to dispersion magnitude, dispersion clocking, encircled energy, total throughput, and bandpass edges. We present the results of this experimental campaign in which the Grism and Prism assemblies met or exceeded many of their design requirements and discuss measurement limitations.
