Studying focal ratio degradation of optical fibers for Subaru Prime Focus Spectrograph
Jesulino Bispo dos Santos, Antonio Cesar de Oliveira, James Gunn +9
Focal Ration Degradation (FRD) is a change in light angular distribution caused by fiber optics. FRD is important to fiber-fed, spectroscopic astronomical systems because it can ca…
Fiber Optical Cable and Connector System (FOCCoS) for PFS/Subaru
Antonio Cesar de Oliveira, Lígia Souza de Oliveira, Márcio V. de Arruda +29
FOCCoS, Fiber Optical Cable and Connector System, has the main function of capturing the direct light from the focal plane of Subaru Telescope using optical fibers, each one with a…
Developing Engineering Model Cobra fiber positioners for the Subaru Telescope Prime Focus Spectrometer
Charles Fisher, Chaz Morantz, David Braun +19
The Cobra fiber positioner is being developed by the California Institute of Technology (CIT) and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) for the Prime Focus Spectrograph (PFS) instrum…
On-instrument wavefront sensor design for the TMT infrared imaging spectrograph (IRIS) update
Jennifer Dunn, Vlad Reshetov, Jenny Atwood +6
The first light instrument on the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) project will be the InfraRed Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS). IRIS will be mounted on a bottom port of the facility AO in…
The InfraRed Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) for TMT: Reflective ruled diffraction grating performance testing and discussion
Elliot Meyer, Shaojie Chen, Shelley A. Wright +6
We present the efficiency of near-infrared reflective ruled diffraction gratings designed for the InfraRed Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS). IRIS is a first light, integral field spectr…
The InfraRed Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) for TMT: Overview of innovative science programs
Shelley A. Wright, James E. Larkin, Anna M. Moore +22
IRIS (InfraRed Imaging Spectrograph) is a first light near-infrared diffraction limited imager and integral field spectrograph being designed for the future Thirty Meter Telescope…
