I Name for one kind of Czerny-Turner monochromator configuration?

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on identifying a specific name for a Czerny-Turner monochromator configuration where two mirrors merge into a single monolithic mirror with one radius of curvature. The name "Fastie–Ebert monochromator" is suggested as the correct term for this design. Participants also mention familiarity with the configuration being referred to as "Ebert-Fastie" or simply "Ebert." The conversation highlights the importance of clear expression in technical inquiries and encourages further questions about related devices. Overall, the Fastie–Ebert monochromator is recognized as the relevant terminology for this configuration.

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.

Quick question that I haven't been able to find the answer to. Greenhouse gasses both warm and cool the atmosphere by slowing heat loss to space. But what would happen without GHGs? I read that the earth would be colder (though still relatively warm), but why? Without GHGs the atmosphere would still be a similar mass and still warmed by conduction from the surface, yet without a means to radiate that heat to space. Why wouldn't the atmosphere accumulate heat over time, becoming warmer? How...
