MOSAIC optical relay module: optical design, performance, and flexure analysis

Calcines, Ariadna and Dubbeldam, Marc and Morris, Timothy J. and Fitzsimons, Ewan and Schnetler, Hermine and Cohen, Mathieu and Amans, Jean-Philippe (2018) 'MOSAIC optical relay module: optical design, performance, and flexure analysis.', in Proceedings Volume 10702, Ground-based and Airborne Instrumentation for Astronomy VII. .

Abstract

The Optical Relay Module of the MOSAIC multiple-object spectrograph is used to relay 400-1800nm light picked off from the ELT focal plane to either a fibre-based integral field unit or a natural guide star wavefront sensor. Here we present the preliminary optical design offering a telecentric exit beam with a focal-ratio of F/17.718 and the opto-mechanical analysis of flexures with a study of the impact in the optical layout performances such as: deviation of the PSF centroid, tip-tilt of the image focal plane, variations of the wavefront error, optical quality and pupil wandering at the deformable mirror position.
