Detailed Optical Design
Transcript of Detailed Optical Design
Zemax Modeling of the Instrument
• An end-to-end (M1 to DL-NIRSP Focus) zemax model actually DOES NOT properly model the optical performance of the instrument
– Spectrograph slit performs a spatial filtering of the image in the spectral direction
– Slit diffraction cannot be properly modeled by zemax.
• Zemax does not allow for anisotropic Gaussian apodization
• Best Practice (using Zemax)…
→Model the feed optics and spectrograph separately
→Using Gaussian apodization to approximate the beam profile in the spectral direction
→Restrict the beam width in the spatial direction to the geometrical beam width

– Off-Axis Conic Collimator/Camera Mirror, FL=1500 mm
• Using slit diffraction to fill the grating
– Default 36 um slit width
• Coarsely-ruled echelle grating
– Dispersion of grating beta angles for the spectral lines are roughly the
same (increase with wavelength), allowing for simultaneous multiple
spectral line observation
• 3-Grating turret for gratings with different blaze
– 7.9 line/mm, 26.7 deg blaze, R ~ 80,000 sampling
– 15.6 line/mm, 53 deg blaze, R ~ 200,000 sampling

Coarsely-Ruled Gratings
• Wavelength Range 500 nm – 2500 nm [ISRD-1]
⇒ All-Reflecting Spectrograph [DRD 4.1.7.1]
⇒Off-Axis Reflecting Littrow Spectrograph
The image quality of off-axis reflecting Littrow degrades very quickly as the location of the exit slit moves away from the position that is symmetric to the entrance slit around the chief ray of the on-axis focal point of the parent parabola.
• Simultaneous 4 wavelengths [ISRD-10] + Reflecting Littrow
⇒ Coarsely-Ruled Grating
Given a fixe grating α, the exit slits of all the wavelengths emerge within a small range in grating β, making it possible to maintain good image quality for all the wavelengths.
⇒ Dichroic Beam Splitters [DRD 4.1.7.6]

3-slot grating turret to accommodate gratings with different blaze
angle.

Grating Efficiency
• Coarsely-Ruled echelle gratings operate at high order for the
spectral lines within the working range of the spectrograph.
• Small variation of grating βs for a fixed grating α for the spectral
lines
⇒ High diffraction efficiency for most of the lines…
6/27/2011 113 DL-NIRSP PDR, Tucson, AZ, June 23-24, 2011
Why R = 200,000 with Custom 15.6 line/mm,
53 deg blaze grating?
• Increased number of slits
– Better system efficiency
• Relaxed DWDM filter specification
– broader bandpass
– Lower filter cost
– An important design goal of DL-NIRSP is to achieve high system
efficiency to improve the temporal resolution of the observation,
which is critical for the study of the dynamic of solar magnetism.

Design Challenges of Coronal Magnetometry
• One of the promises of the 4-m aperture of the ATST is to deliver
high photon flux required by coronal magnetometry
• From 0.4-m Evans Coronagraph to 4-m ATST is real nice, but…
– Focal Plane Array pixel size does not increase by 10x…
– Focal plane array chip size does not increase by 10X…
– Grating size does not increase by 10X…
– F/# of optics wants to stay the same…
⇒ It is very difficult to do low spatial resolution, large FOV
observation with large telescope!
