ELT Studies in JapanMasanori Iye (NAOJ) # ReOrganization of NAOJ+4 to NINS (as of Apr. 1, 2004) 3 times larger in budget and staff, increased flexibility? # Future Planning WG for Opt/IR community => White Book (2004 summer) # No Specific Budget for ELT R&D => request for 5 year R&D budget to JST/MEXT # Yet, some studies are under way for a 30m JELT. Reports on individual studies Caution: including yet-personal perspectives! M.Iye/NAOJ SPIE Meeting @Glasgow, June 22, 2004

Segment Fabrication ・ New zero-expansion material for segments 1) coated CFRP : replica fabrication(Melco) => low cost, suppression of humidity deformation 2) ZPF : grinding/polishing Zero-expansion Pore-Free ceramic(Japan Ceratech/ Taiheiyo cement) ・ Direct Grinding (Nagase Integrex) no/little polishing => reduction of time/cost M.Iye/NAOJ SPIE Meeting @Glasgow, June 22, 2004
Test on coated CFRP • Cyanate CFRP: CTE 30ppb /C, light weight 1.5g/cm3 • Cheaply replicated from mother mold. • Affordable surface roughness • Deformation for absolute dehydration 20ppm with time scale of 500hrs • Water tight coating to give 100 times longer time scale may give < 3ppb change in 1 hour. *Need for static correction? M.Iye/NAOJ SPIE Meeting @Glasgow, June 22, 2004
Weight increase rate of dehydrated CFRP due to moisture absorption in laboratory M.Iye/NAOJ SPIE Meeting @Glasgow, June 22, 2004
CFRP Tests at Subaru enclosure • Cyanate CFRP protected by Al foil was monitored for its weight variation at 10-7 mass resolution during three months at Mauna Kea. M.Iye/NAOJ SPIE Meeting @Glasgow, June 22, 2004
/Deformation due to the variable moisture content in 2 months was 220ppb, 4 times larger than thermal deformation of ULE, 60ppb, for 20C change. => Reducable by optimizing plastic material and/or carbon content? M.Iye/NAOJ SPIE Meeting @Glasgow, June 22, 2004
Zero-expansion Pore-Free CeramicJapan Ceratech/Taiheiyo Cement • Thermally zero-expansion material (10ppb) • Stronger than glass for damaging (~ twice) • Machinable and polishable just like glass. • Aluminum deposition can be made. • Follows temperature variation 3 times faster than glass. • Acceptable surface roughness (a few nm rms). • Light weight structuring and sagged disk feasible • New facility plan for production of larger disks. • Somewhat less expensive than glass(?)

High Precision Nagase Grinding Machine • FMOS aspheric Schmidt plate 28x24cm, loose specification for fiber imaging • One-time grinding off • Roughness 80nm • Figure error 200nm *metrology measurement • Iterative grinding with optical interferometric measurement has just tested on 10cm ZPF. M.Iye/NAOJ SPIE Meeting @Glasgow, June 22, 2004
1st NC grinding experiments • Three 10cm ZPF disks ground to R=30cm sphere • ZPF1 rotated, #1500, • ZPF2 rotated, #3000, a few hours work, (smaller R at the center) but surface error < 3 λover 65% of the surface • ZPF3 raster scanned, 0.5mm then 0.1mm pitch, overnight grinding => (grinding tracks visible) figure error under evaluation. Remember this is the result of first 5 days and optimizations of parameters are yet to be seeked for!!! M.Iye/NAOJ SPIE Meeting @Glasgow, June 22, 2004
