SPACE TELESCOPE SCIENCE INSTITUTE Intra-pixel Sensitivity Testing Preliminary Design Review 3 August 2001 Stella Jang
Goals • Present the calibrated target/ 3-axis stage design • Present requirements for blackbody radiation contrast and pixel saturation • Show that the proposed design meets the necessary requirements • Show that required tolerances can be met • Approve a plan for moving from PDR to CDR 2
Definition of Intra-pixel Sensitivity Ni,j =number of electrons/second detected in pixel i,j ei,j(x,y) =intra-pixel sensitivity at x,y in pixel i,j I =number of photons/second arriving at x,y in pixel i,j j+2 j+1 j i+3 i i+1 i+2 3

Software Requirements • Integrated control software • exposure (multi-plane FITS) • filter wheels • 3D stage • light source (on/off and intensity)? • Analysis software • data reduction pipeline • IDL 35
Designs • Light source - Coherent quartz tungsten halogen -150W/3250K - Variable intensity • Light guide - Coherent 24” multi-fiber gooseneck - 5.54mm exit port diameter • Pinhole - 5 mm diameter in a 1” retaining ring mount • 3-axis stage - 3 Newport compact motorized translation stages - Newport motion controller • Window - 110mm - 10mm thickness - Mounted in end plate of dewar. • Filters - Johnson-R, Johnson-I, J, H, K, L’, M’, PK50 36
Designs (cont’d) • Offner relay - Re-images source 1:1 onto detector • Allows decent imaging at f/10 over full 2K2 field • Provides excellent imaging over a smaller central region • Compact, folded design fits available space • All reflective optical design is free from chromatic aberration • Focal reducer - Produces f/1.5 beam for sub-pixel imaging • At f/10, diffraction-limited FWHM = 22.6 mm (l = 2.2 mm) • At f/1.5, diffraction-limited FWHM is = 3.4 mm (l = 2.2 mm) • Single-element optic with 4 different surface radii (2 elliptical, 2 spherical) • Reflective coatings on the two elliptical surfaces • Parfocal with f/10 beam, designed to reside in a filter wheel • Provides subpixel imaging over a 10 pixel diameter region 37
Designs 38
Hardware Set-up • 3-axis motion stages are assembled and attached to the motion driver • Pinhole and light source needs to be attached to 3-axis stage • Flux from light guide exit port must be variable 39
Notes on Schedule • Some hardware not ordered yet • Anticipate that the hardware will be complete no earlier than December 40
Open Issues • Controlling efficiency at the light guide exit port • This has implications for the pinhole/stage design • M’ filter bandwidth • How to suppress flux for wavelength < 4 mm ? • Monochromator vs. Filters • Cost • Time 41
