The tables below shows the efficiency of the grating only at
orders 3, 4, 5, & 6 used with
K, H, J, & Y filters, respectively. The efficiencies provided below are
determined for the appropriate grating tilt used in MOSFIRE to
selected the desired orders.

- Central wavelength for a slit at the center of the field.
- For a nominal 0.7 arcsec slit
- Wavelength range for slits places at X=± 1.5' from the field center. The number in parentheses is
the fraction of the wavelength range for central slits covered by the spectra from slits at the extrema.
- Shift of the central wavelength (Å) per ΔX=1mm at the
CSU (1.379 arcsec in the telescope focal plane).
Below is an efficiency plot comparison for all four grating orders.
