Slits separation Plots of the intensity profiles in the regions between the pseudo-slits. Lowest contour in the plots corresponds roughly to ~1% of the peak intensity (50 for a peak intensity of ~3000). NIRSpec/IFU Prototype Final Presentation ESTEC - Noordwijk
Conclusion • Prototype shows: • Good optical quality (@ room and cryo T°) • Very good pupils and sub-slits positioning • Opto-mechanics shows: • Compatibility to room and 30°K environment • Optical contact qualified NIRSpec/IFU Prototype Final Presentation ESTEC - Noordwijk
Further activities (outside the current contract • Qualification: • Up to the end of the year: NASTRAN model to simulate the dynamic response • Optical performance: • Slit function (from current data) • More • Precise crosstalk measurement (@ room T°) NIRSpec/IFU Prototype Final Presentation ESTEC - Noordwijk
