Slicer development Eric Prieto LAM
In reality Eric Prieto -LAM
Slicer Stack Only 10 active slices 20 dummies • Spherical slices (0.9mm thick, 28 mm long) • 30 slices stack • Optical bonding assembly • All in Zerodur • Silver protected coating Telescope pupil images after reflection on the slicer Eric Prieto -LAM
Pupil mirrors • 5 pupil mirrors (2.7mm width) • Spherical active surface • Silver protected coating • Optical bonding • INVAR structure Slit images after reflection on the pupil mirrors Eric Prieto -LAM
Prototype performances Thermometers Thermal straps END 03 Eric Prieto -LAM
conclusions • Glass manufacturing in spécification: OK • Optical performance: OK • Cryogenic operation: OK • Vibration survival of the optical assembly: OK • Opto-mechanical mount: FAIL • No clear specification for vibration at the beginning of the study • Structure not design for such load • A posteriori simulations demonstrate the stress > 10 MPa in zerodur • To be prototype early in the development BUT THIS A PROBLEM ALREADY SOLVED IN OTHER INSTRUMENT ZERODUR OPTICS ARE CLASSICAL FOR SPACE APPLICATION Eric Prieto -LAM
Big Numbers • Slice .9mm x 30mm (.5mm in prototyping) • Slice positioning <10’’ (15µm center of curvature) • Ra: 1nm • Surface quality: 5nm rms • Cracks < 5µm (specification for SNAP slicer) • Two vendors (SESO – WINLIGHT) • Manufacturing cost for space delivering fly unit: 20k€/slice • Manufacturing cost for 30 slicers for ground application: 2k€ /slice • For SNAP very rough estimate: 5-10 k€ / slice LAM current baseline Eric Prieto -LAM
DURHAM • GNIRS-IFU • Based on diamond turned techniques • Big numbers presented during meetings: • Ra: 8nm • WFE: <50 nm rms • Edge ? • Slice orientation: <1” • Monolithic • Long lead learning process to know how manufacture • No industrial Vendor • One Lab for manufacturing: LFM (difficult) • Second lab in the learning curve: Durham Eric Prieto -LAM
CRAL • Long prototyping work on Glass Slicer: good results • But costly and very long lead item for 24 units: • Trade manufacturing process • Metallic approach • Some vendors contacted and prototypes We are hungry to know results Eric Prieto -LAM
Oxford • SPIFFI Heritage : SWIFT • Flat slices • 30-40 slices • Glass slices • Vendor: WINLIGTH (same than the SNAP demonstrator) • Chosen as well establish technology Eric Prieto -LAM
Opticon – JRA 5 • European effort • Axed to replication for • Cost • Manufacturing process • Metallic mandrels • Roughness and WFE under studies • Result end 07 Eric Prieto -LAM
LAM Axis • Optimisation of the designs: • Concentric slicer (SPIE 04 + SNAP concept) • Fan shape (Proposal IFU/NIRSPEC – SPIE 06 + …) • Manufacturing cost reduction slicer design for MIFU: • SPIE 06 • Prototyping SNAP IFU (demonstrator – SPIE 06 …) • Improving coupling ifu and instrument: • Interaction between IFU design and instrument design • Trying to have an overall instrument simplification (concentric slicer) • Rational manufacturing approach • Survey of other manufacturing approach and performance associated Eric Prieto -LAM
SNAP ROADMAP • Demonstrator to validate: • the optical performances • Existence of one manufacturing process • Trade the manufacturing techniques versus: • Performance • Opto-mechnical interfaces • Cost • Prototype the relevant point for the selected approach: • Opto-mechnical interface for the glass approach • Manufacturing for SiC approach (full SiC instrument ?) • Quality for aluminum approach • Next months study to propose the next step in prototyping for SNAP Eric Prieto -LAM
