the OAN 1.3 m telescope (no correcting, field-flattening or reimaging optics)

Beamsplitters
Arms: separated via 3 dichroic mirrors, placed in
series along the converging beam
Wedged dichroics: being tilted-glass slabs in a
non-parallel beam, dichroics are wedged for a
partial compensation of their own-induced
aberrations

LWP beam-splitters: all three dichroics are reflect
blue light and transmitted the red (WFE an
other effects α 1/λ)
Inclinations:
–
–
the first two dichroics are inclined ±45º
3rd low-incidence dichroic (20º) has an
orthogonal inclination
Operation conditions:
–
–
First two dichroics operate at ambient conditions
(T=-10º-16º C, P≈0.74 ATM)
Last dichroic is within the NIR dewar (T≈-185º C
in vacuum)

Wedged dichroics in converging beams

Visible channel
(direct imaging)
Performance essentially determined by the image quality
and field-curvature of the telescope
Field-curvature (Rc=540 mm): images increase by ≤0.1”
over the flat CCDs
RATIR on an idealized-telescope
(curved field)
1” and Airy
circles
For maximum throughput and lower aberrations at shortest
wavelengths, the blue arm only goes through the
instrument window before being reflected by the first
dichroic (r/i)
Conventional 2”-filters located not far from FLI cameras to
avoid vignetting
u-r band
r/i & i/Z dichroic cut-offs limit red camera to the i-band only
The wedge of the (i/Z) dichroic was optimized to minimize
aberrations within the i-band only
The Z/Y-dichroic wedge optimized for the Y to H bands
i/Z wedge => residual lateral color within i-band. For longer
λs, prism-dispersion ~ balanced by the opposite
orientation of 2nd (Z/Y) dichroic

NIR channel
(Design Performance)
Image-quality performance not far form diffraction limit
Residual Astigmatism/Coma from inclined dichroics
reasonably compensated up to 14-arcmin field
“Prismatic” residual lateral color present but OK
8
NIR channel (Performance vs. T)
EE at 3ºC Z+Y bands (0.83-1.14 µm)
EE at 20ºC Z+Y bands (0.83-1.14 µm)
Back-focus, moving split-filter and detector together,
compensates over the operation T interval (~30µm/ºC)
Thermal gradients are very small: ΔT<0.2ºC
(lenses have very similar thermal mass & dimensions)

Optical Prescription (20º C)
10
After-construction Budget
Field and Camera groups (lenses cells and barrels) to be subcontracted as independent units
Subcontractor manages his own manufacture tolerances and compensators, but using
the same overall-system merit and prescription
Integration of the barrel units can be carried out under relaxed tolerances (nominally 100
µm displacements and 3-arcmin tilts). Compensators: fold-mirror, back focus and oversized cold-stop
11
Different glass-combos are possible
Allows for interaction with contractors to evaluate:
Blank and material properties, availability and delivery timescale
Polishing and manufacture difficulty
Manufacture sensitivities and compensations
AR-coating optimization
Cost and delivery of finalized units

Nothing is for free, but even a system without crystals can be considered

Expected Thermal Background
Worst scenario considered:
• Warm night (17ºC)
• Oversized cold-stop (plus 2 to 8
mm)
• Detector cut-off at 2.5 µm
• Filters blocked to 10-4 in K
• Cryostat K-emission not blocked
Instrument background (unmasked
structure and RATIR optics):
• Out-of-band dominated in Z, Y & J
• Mostly in-band emission in H
=> RATIR NIR-arm is always sky-limited
