The response of a monochromator to an intense line, the sohyphen;called instrumental profile or slit function, is studied over a range of signals comprising seven orders of magnitude, which corresponds to a maximum frequency shift of about five times the slit width. For a 1hyphen;m double monochromator with concave, holographic gratings, the observed profile is approximately described by diffraction theory except for the extreme wings.
