F/4 F/5 27.6mm Size of the CoRoT CCD 37mm Size of the beam QTH source optical fiber band-pass filter (400-560nm) CCD on translation stages Far field of the fiber The far field of the optical fiber defines the size of the 5 zones of the steps mirror. Acquisition of the beam profile with a CCD. SIAMOIS, kickoff meeting, Paris, 15-16 may, 2006
QTH source optical fiber Measurement of the far field uniformity band-pass filter (400-560nm) CCD on translation stages dewar QTH source optical fiber power meter Measurement of the variations of the fiber transmission band-pass filter (400-560nm) dewar Qualification of the optical fiber • Two qualifications at -80°C • Optical fiber only optical tests during cooling • Optical fiber + connectors optical tests before/after cooling • Purchase of several fibers: • Two manufacturers • Two different jackets: PVC and metal SIAMOIS, kickoff meeting, Paris, 15-16 may, 2006
signal fiber calibration fiber 50µm 128 ± 20µm 65µm Mechanical interface of the fibers • Specification: distance of 128 µm between the two fiber cores (signal & calibration) at the collimator focus • Design of the mechanical interface of the 2 fibers: • Test of the robustness of this component • Evaluation of the constraints on the fibers SIAMOIS, kickoff meeting, Paris, 15-16 may, 2006
Implementation of the camera • Model: iDus DU440 • Active pixels: 1024 x 255 • Pixel size: 26 x 26µm • Back illuminated, AR coated for optimal performance in the 350nm region • Full well capacity: 465 ke- (typical) • Read noise: 4 @ 33kHz • Typical minimum temperature: -70°C (air cooled) • Andor software (LabView) • Acquisition • Real-time data display • Shutter control • Data processing • 2 spectra • Calibration source SIAMOIS, kickoff meeting, Paris, 15-16 may, 2006
Conclusion • State of the test bench today: (in Meudon labs, ex CoRoT CCD test bench) • Waiting for equipment…after many difficulties to order it! • Beginning of the tests scheduled for june 2006 • 2 students SIAMOIS, kickoff meeting, Paris, 15-16 may, 2006
