  1. The Fresnel Imager for exoplanet study Laurent Koechlin 1, Jean-Pierre Rivet 2, Truswin Raksasataya 1, Paul Deba 1, Denis Serre 3. 1 Université de Toulouse CNRS 2 Observatoire de la côte d'Azur CNRS 3 Leiden University, the Netherlands

  2. I. Concept

  3. Lens (or miror): focusing by refraction (or reflexion) focus Plane wavefront Fresnel array: focusing by diffraction … focus Optical concept: Light focalization Lens Spherical wavefront Binary transmission function g(x) Order 0 : plane wave Order 1 : convergent

  4. Optical concept : Image formation Can light travel free in vacuum all the way from source to focus? Image Aperture Quasi no stray light except in four spikes. Transmission: g(x) Transmission: g(x)"xor" g(y) non linear luminosity scale, to show the spikes.

  5. Basic concepts: Fresnel arrays versus solid aperture Images of a point source by: 300 Fresnel zones 3000 Fresnel zones Solid square aperture luminosity scale:Power 1/4 to show spikes

  6. Basic concepts: Dynamic range & resolution PSF for 300 zones (720 000 apertures) Numerical Fresnel propagation apodized prolate, order 0 masked Log dynamic 1/4 field represented Position in the field (resels)

  7. "Against" Fresnel Arrays: f Chromaticity... But can be canceled by order -1 chromaticityafter focus, Channel bandpass limitations: Δλ/λ= 15% f = D2/8zλ D transmission efficiency to focus: 6% to 10% 1km to 100km focal lengths => Formation flying in space f = D2/8zλ

  8. "pro" Fresnel Arrays: No mirror, no lens : just vacuum and opaque material (except near focal plane). broad spectral domain: λ = 90nm (UV) to (IR) 25μm High angular resolution: as a solid aperture the size of the array. High dynamic range: 108 on compact objects, more with coronagraphy & postprocessing. Large tolerance in positioning of subapertures: for λ/50 wavefront quality in the UV on a 30 meters membrane array: 50 μm in the plane of the membrane, 10 mm perp. to membrane, The tolerance is wavelength independent. Opens the way to large (up to 100m?) aberration-free apertures.

  9. II. Tests Does it work ?

  10. 2x2 cm array I have it here, It's working. live demo after this session. For those who Haven't already Seen it…

  11. 8x8 cm array: tests on lab sources (2005-2008) 116 zones, 8 x 8 cm 26680 apertures "orthocircular" design. F= 23 m at = 600 nm Precision: 5m on holes positioning =>/70 on wavefront. Achievements: Diffraction limited Broad band imaging (450-850nm) 10-6dynamic range metal foil 100 m thick Photo T.Raksasataya

  12. 20x20 cm array: test on sky sources (2009-2011) 0.8" resolution 1000x1000 field λ0 = 800 nm Δλ = 100 nm Photo D.Serre

  13. Metal foil 9.7 105 apertures, Slightly apodized, 696 Fresnel zones. 20 cm Photo P.Deba

  14. 20x20 cm array: first light on stars ALINEMENT PHASE images: temporary 116 zones secondary (instead of 702 zones) Tip-Tilt not yet implemented 52 Cygni a-b Va= 4.2 vb= 8.7 sep= 6.4" STT 433 a-b Va=4.36 ; Vb=10.0 Sep= 15" more results at our workshop in Nice next week

  15. 20 cm array goals Assess performances on real sky objects: do better than other 20 cm aperture instruments. Targets: High contrast objects extended sources dense fields deep sky

  16. ESA study ESA call for Feasibility study of a membrane telescope 350 k€

  17. III. Space Mission Science ? Credibility ?

  18. The Fresnel Imager Space Mission 3m to 100m diameter, or more. Thin membrane "Primary Array" module: Field optics telescope 1/10th to 1/20th the diameter of Primary Array. Dispersion correction: order -1 diffraction Blazed lens or concave grating, 10 to 30 cm diameter focal Instrumentation: Spectro-imagers

  19. Rationale Meet acceptability threshold for a new technology mission Make it simple, try to keep cost below 300 M€ Scientific return over cost:must be higher than that ofcompeting concepts λ/50 wavefront, at any λ => High Dynamic range from IR to UV mas angular resolution 1000x1000 resel. fields Spectral resolution Suitable for Exoplanets and other fieds too…

  20. Strategy, sky targets - Start with UV domain? - limited budget => limited aperture, but high resolution - High quality wavefront at any wavelength - angular resolution : 7 mas with a 4m Fresnel array - spectral lines in UV for: Photosynthesis break, O3, CH4, CO2 , auroras … - polarimetry

  21. Space Mission: optical scheme Spacecraft 1 Solar Baffle, to protect from sunlight Large "Primary Fresnel Array: Thin foil, 4 to 30 m diameter, or more. Field optics telescope Order zero blocked Focal instrum. Diffraction order 1: focused, but with chromatic aberration. Spacecraft 2 pupil plane Diffraction order 0: unfocussed will be focused by field optics, then blocked. Focal instruments Chromatic correction: Blazed Fresnel grating 5 km (for a 4m aperture) to 100 km (for a 30m aperture) image plane 1dispersed image plane 2 achromatic
