  1. Triana EPIC Stray Light Evaluation Preliminary Analysis and Results Dennis Charles Evans Optics Branch, Code 551 Instrument Synthesis & Analysis Laboratory 301-286-6237 / 301-262-2230 / ee@erols.com February 27, 2002 EPIC ASAP RESULTS.ppt

  2. EPIC Optical & Mechanical Models • Optical Models • GTRIANA.SEQ • Failed to load successfully in Code-V • Converted to ZEMAX OK using SEQ2ZMX.exe • GTRIANA-00.ZMX • Good optical performance • Strehl Ratio 0.66-0.60 for all wavelengths over FOV • Mechanical Model • Epic.igs (provided) • Epic-IGS-02.dwg (converted, edited AutoCAD) EPIC ASAP RESULTS.ppt

  3. EPIC Optical & Mechanical Models • Reasonable Agreement Mechanical & Optical Models • Telescope Optics and Focal Plane within 0.01 inch • As good as fabrication and assembly tolerances • Filter position different by up to 1.74 inch (ZMX=aft of IGES) • Not expected to have any significant effect • No IGES Lenses, but ZMX lenses centered in “Lens Holder” • No printed copy ICD drawings of optical system • There have been obvious design changes from concept to build • No really good optics illustration available, especially baffle system EPIC ASAP RESULTS.ppt

  4. ZEMAX Model EPIC ASAP RESULTS.ppt

  5. ASAP 3D Model (Telescope & Detector) View from behind Telescope View looking into telescope. Note Green Detector. EPIC ASAP RESULTS.ppt

  6. Full ASAP Model View from behind Telescope View looking into telescope. Note: Lenses & Filter covers Detector. EPIC ASAP RESULTS.ppt

  7. ASAP 3D Model as Traced EPIC ASAP RESULTS.ppt

  8. View from Detector Smooth Cylinder Wall that can be illuminated EPIC ASAP RESULTS.ppt

  9. ASAP Optical Model • IGES Conversion Problems • Did not trim extended flat surfaces correctly • Typical problem with IGES flavors • Not likely to be a problem in model construction • ASAP Model constructed by selective modeling • Typical procedure, usually better than blind IGES insertion in both speed and quality EPIC ASAP RESULTS.ppt

  10. Baffling Observations • Does not meet definition of well baffled system • Detector can see space [through lenses & filter] • No significant space sources likely (Moon occasionally) • Missing Primary central baffle tube an academic concern • Limited Vane implementation • None detected on Barrel Baffle • None on Spider arms or inner ring (cylinder) • Spider arms not modeled, but inner ring cylinder was modeled • None inside Secondary Housing • Limited to none on cylinder near Detector • Dominate Stray Light • From optical surface ghosts [at 1/600 level] • Missing vanes unlikely to be significant for EPIC • Would not be good low light level instrument, but doesn’t need to be. EPIC ASAP RESULTS.ppt

  11. ASAP Surface Models • Mirrors • Reflectivity, 0.98 • BRDF, none applied, unlikely to be a problem • Three Lenses & Single Filter • Coating Per Surface: (ARF05) • 0.95 Transmission, 0.05 Reflection • Detector Cover • 0.80 Transmission, 0.20 Reflection • All other surface • 0.00 Transmission, 0.05 Reflection (Lambertian) EPIC ASAP RESULTS.ppt

  13. Floor at 1E-4 Near ghost between 1/1000 and 1/10,000 EPIC ASAP RESULTS.ppt

  14. Floor at 1E-5 Near ghost between 1/1000 and 1/10,000. General ghosting obvious. EPIC ASAP RESULTS.ppt

  15. Floor at 1E-6 Near ghost between 1/1000 and 1/10,000. General ghosting obvious. EPIC ASAP RESULTS.ppt

  16. Floor at 1E-3 Near ghost is about 1/600 EPIC ASAP RESULTS.ppt

  17. Floor at 1E-4 Near ghost is about 1/600. General ghosts between 1/600 to 1/1000. All look like surface ghosts. EPIC ASAP RESULTS.ppt

  18. Floor at 1E-5 Near ghost is about 1/600. General ghosts between 1/600 to 1/1000. All look like surface ghosts. No new ghosts. EPIC ASAP RESULTS.ppt

  19. Floor at 1E-6 Near ghost is about 1/600. General ghosts between 1/600 to 1/1000. All look like surface ghosts. EPIC ASAP RESULTS.ppt

  20. ASAP Spot Plot Displays • Point Sources: • At combinations of 6371 and 3186 km referenced to Earth • Each, 5 rings of 36 rays for 180 rays, • Extended Source: • 102 mm radius, shifted 300 mm up (+Y) • 150 meters from Secondary Vertex • (1/2916)-(1/150000)=(1/2861); 55 mm image shift • f/9 implies ± 2.5 mm edge blurring (unlikely to mask any problems) • ASAP low flux limit. • Intended source; 2000 km diameter at 1.5E6 km distance, 3000 km offset. • Result • Stray light (ghosting) begins at the 1/600 to 1/1000 level. EPIC ASAP RESULTS.ppt

  21. ASAP Spot Plot Displays • Displays • Adjusted for peak flux (logarithmic) density [Flux/sq-mm] • Lower level truncation at 3, 4, 5, and 6 decades below peak • Pixilation is 256 x 256 over 36 mm square. [0.140 mm pixels] • Point Source Ray Statistics • 5 rings of 36 rays each; 180 rays • 1620 rays starting from 9 field points • 554,937 rays traced (ray splits at transmission surfaces) • 120,659 rays absorbed by detector • Extend Source Ray Statistics • 200,000 rays left source aimed for oversized entrance edge • 3,193,734 rays traced (ray splits at transmission surfaces) • 1,053,293 rays absorbed by detector EPIC ASAP RESULTS.ppt
