 In the dispersion-matching optics, the S800 focal point is achromatic, i.e. the position of the beam in the dispersive direction does not depend on the momentum. As a consequence, the beam is momentum-dispersed on the target area (pivot point) with a dispersion of about 10 cm/%. The main goal of the tuning is to ensure that the position and angle dispersion are cancelled at the focal plane, thus maximizing the resolution at that point. We also want a good image in the object position, which will also contribute to increase the resolution at the focal plane.  In the dispersion-matching optics, the S800 focal point is achromatic, i.e. the position of the beam in the dispersive direction does not depend on the momentum.
