3. Assumptions 3 Distance from flattener to CCD is >= 3mm Distance from filter to window between 15 and 110 mm Distance from window to flattnerers between 3 and 110 mm Allow distance from corrector to mirror to vary d/t <= 14.4 (same as QUEST camera) Window is Fused Silica All spherical surfaces Aspheric surfaces did not change performance much Optimize over 5 wavelengths in the g’, r’ bands as below (allowing a focus change). Optimize over 9 field points in each detector Merit function is the 2D FWHM (RMS radius * 2.3548) u’g’r’i’ Wavelength (nm) Wavelength (nm) Wavelength (nm) Wavelength (nm) 325.0398.0593.0719.5 340.0432.5625.5770.75 355.0467.0658.0822.0 370.0501.5690.5873.25 385.0536.0723.0924.5

4. Detector Gap If t is the thickness of the flattener, d is the distance from detector to the flattener, c is the chamfer of the flattener, g is the gap between the flatteners, f is the f/# of the beam, n is the index of refraction of the glass, and s is the spacing between the detectors, then For g = 2mm, c = 1mm, t = 5mm, d=2mm, f=2.5, n = 1.8 then s = 6 mm —I assumed 8.4 mm in the following analysis 4 Detector Field Flattener
