We present the optical design of the UV-VIS arm of SOXS which employs high efficiency ion-etched gratings used in first order (m = 1) as the main dispersers. The spectral band is split into four channels which are directed to individual gratings, and imaged simultaneously by a single three-element catadioptric camera. The expected throughput of our design is > 60% including contingency. The SOXS collaboration expects first light in early 2021. This paper is one of several papers presented in these proceedings2-10 describing the full SOXS instrument. © 2018 SPIE.enCatadioptric camerasEtched gratingsExpected throughputFirst orderFour-channelHigh-efficiencySpectral bandX-shooterArtículoAtribución 4.0 Internacional (CC BY 4.0)10.1117/12.2313338
