Name for one kind of Czerny-Turner monochromator configuration?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The specific name for the Czerny-Turner monochromator configuration, where mirrors M1 and M2 combine to form a monolithic mirror M12 with a single radius of curvature, is the Fastie–Ebert monochromator. This configuration is also referred to as Ebert-Fastie or simply Ebert. The discussion highlights the importance of precise terminology in optical design and encourages clarity in communication for effective problem-solving.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Czerny-Turner monochromator design
  • Familiarity with optical mirror configurations
  • Knowledge of the Fastie–Ebert monochromator principles

TL;DR
searching for name of single-mirror C-T monochromator configuration
Can anyone say if there is a specific name for the Czerny-Turner monochromator configuration shown below, but specifically when the two mirrors M1 and M2 extend into each other and combine forming one monolithic mirror M12 with one single radius of curvature? I thought I saw such a design years ago, and I'm revisiting an old project in which I'm actually trying to build it, but it would help to reference any existing work.

Nevermind: apparently, the name I was looking for was Fastie–Ebert monochromator.
 
Welcome to PF.
Where if you can express yourself clearly, and ask the right question, you can answer it yourself.
We look forward to your next good question, and an introduction to another interesting esoteric device.

I'm more familiar with it being called Ebert-Fastie, or simply Ebert.

Below are three configurations I am most familiar with.
