contents In this paper, we elaborate on correctly predicting Échelle spectrograms by employing the fully three-dimensional representation of Snell's law to model the effects of prisms as cross-dispersers in Échelle spectrographs. We find that it is not sufficient to simply apply the frequently used trigonometric prism dispersion equation to describe recorded spectra. This vector equation approach is not limited to a single dispersive element when modelling multi-prism cross-disperser configurations. Our results help to understand the main levers in an Échelle spectrograph as well as contribute to auto-calibration algorithms for minimizing calibration efforts in daily operation.
