Normal-incidence vs. grazing-incidence design (2/2) THE MAIN DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO CONFIGURATIONS IS THE TELESCOPE DESIGN THE SPATIAL AND SPECTRAL RESOLUTIONS OF THE NI CONFIGURATION ARE HIGHER THAN THE GI ONE THE TWO DESIGNS MAY OFFER THE SAME SPECTRAL COVERAGE (NI NEEDS MULTILAYER FOR WAVELENGTHS BELOW 35 NM)

Optics degradation at 20 nm Multilayer coating A change of the ML properties (e.g. interdiffusion between adjacent layers, change of period due to thermal expansion) may alter the reflectivity down to 0. THE ML IS A “SINGLE POINT FAILURE” FOR OBSERVATIONS AT 20 NM. THE STABILITY OF ML AT THE EXTREME THERMAL CONDITIONS OF SOLO HAS TO BE PROVED BY STUDIES AND TESTS, IN VIEW OF THE AO.

Some considerations on the entrance filter • As proposed in the Astrium Payload Integration Study, an entrance filter could reduce to zero the thermal load on the optics. • A suitable filter for the 60 nm region is a thin Al foil (200 nm, 0.6 transmission) • VERY RISKY SOLUTION: single point failure • FEASIBLE ? • Grazing-incidence configuration • The filter is on the entrance aperture • Thermal load on the filter • 25 solar constants on the Al foil • Normal-incidence configuration • The filter is inserted at the end of the entrance tube (0.8 m) • 20 solar constants on the Al foil
Conclusions NI DESIGN The NI configuration is more compact and has better optical performance than the GI one. A multilayer coated mirror is required for observations below 40 nm. GI DESIGN No multilayer coated mirrors are required AT PRESENT, NI CONFIGURATION IS THE FIRST CHOICE (GI AS A BACKUP SOLUTION). GIVEN THE EXTREME THERMAL CONDITIONS ON SOLO (34 kW/m2), TESTS AND STUDIES ON COATING DEGRADATION AT NORMAL-INCIDENCE (BOTH CONVENTIONAL AND MULTILAYERS) HAVE TO BE PERFORMED IN VIEW OF THE AO.
