Optical & Mechanical I/F between SAFARI and IOB Rev. A Mar. 12 th 2010 Hideo Matsuhara
Background Stringent stiffness requirement of FPIA 150Hz (Z) / 100Hz (X, Y) !! The original concept of IOB plate (ribbed Aluminum plate) itself does not satisfy the requirement. To overcome the above problem, two options: [Option A] IOB made of SiC (or CFRP) [Option B] MIRACLE (& MIRMES, MIRHES) base plate will be a part of the IOB structure (made of Aluminum) On the other hand, we decide to consider a common pick-off module (PoM) separated from each FPI, but mechanically I/F to IOB PoM is a sub-system of IOBA No moving parts On 13 th Jan, we proposed that each FPI’s envelope does NOT exist within 180 circle in the focal plane.
Concept of common PoM Pick-off location is mm below the surface of IOB, so the PoM looks like a cylinder? IOB may not be a plate, but a frame structure – so the PoM structural design depends on the IOB structure 2300 mm
[Option B] “IOB – MIRACLE-base plate common structure” concept Note: structures of MIRACLE, MIRMES, MIRHES & FPC, SCI in these figures are now out-of-date This option is investigated by Takehiko Wada & the MIRACLE team on behalf of the FPIA manager
Progress in the opt-mechanical design of MIRACLE, MIRMES, MIRHES, SCI and FPC MIRACLE, MIRMES, MIRHES 1 st version of optical design completed and estimated total mass & volume Now 2 nd version of optics is under investigation, aiming more compact design - pick-off location can be slightly apart from the telescope center MIRMES pick-off is located at the re-image of the fore-optics of MIRACLE-long MIRHES pick-off is located at the re-image of the fore-optics of MIRACLE-short SCI Now, no-pickoff mirror compact optical design in the housing oriented vertical FPC Now 5x5 arcmin 2 FoV FPC-G optics is under revision, FPC-S is already fixed
New SCI design

Issues for SAFARI – interference with FPC-S SCI FPC-S
Current optical rays at pick-off SAFARI 175mm Note: MIRACLE optics / pick- off will be updated soon
Discussion – short-term A/Is Can [Option-B] fit the SAFARI mechanical I/F design? can SAFARI rotate 90 deg around X-axis? Optical I/F for SAFARI will be defined with respect to the common PoM, as we proposed before?
