  7. Optics • Design of FPU optics unchanged, manufacturing of mirrors complete, filters partly delivered • Alignment of QM optics in progress, specs fulfilled so far • Analyses (geometrical-optical, diffraction) done; to be complemented by measurements with IL tests/ calibration • Baffle design and manufacture for QM FPU finished; optimisation for FM in progress • Calibration sources manufactured and tested • Details from N. Geis / D. Kampf PACS Instrument Overview

Schubert and D. Kampf PACS Instrument Overview

  9. PACS Instrument Overview 9

  10. Photoconductor Arrays • All QM detector “sixpacks” (2 high-stress, 2 low-stress) delivered to MPE / MPIA for testing • Tests of all low-stress modules finished at MPIA, all high-stress modules + a few low-stress modules tested at MPE after repair at ASTEQ • QM schedule tight (critical path) – see below • Integration of modules with housing + filters has to start • FM schedule driven by • CREs: FM wafers (CRE v06) processed, AIT in progress • New contact (?) problem • Details from H. Richter PACS Instrument Overview

  11. “Blue” Ge:Ga QM Detector Test Results A/W Sixpack2_MPIA Responsivity of modules in Sixpack1_MPIA(left: before vibration, right: after vibration) NEP ~ 5x Herschel/PACS BLIP (with QM CRE) PACS Instrument Overview

  12. FM14, FM12, FM11 QM12, QM11, QM8 FM11, QM7, QM9, QM3 QM12, QM11, QM8 “Red” Ge:Ga QM Detector Test Results BLIPHerschel/PACS • NEP (even with QM CRE) approaching advertised value • Some “weak” pixels, varying from cooldown to cooldown • Few “dead” pixels (open channels) • Details from U. Grözinger PACS Instrument Overview

  13. Cryogenic Read-Out Electronics • CQM run (v05) • Integrated in QM modules + test modules • Tested extensively – current noise too high (at least for low-stress array – by factor ~5) • CQM not suitable for FS, but useful for QM ILT • FM run (v06) • Significant design modifications (3 variations implemented) • Wafers processed • First tests very promising in terms of noise performance • Delivery starting Nov/Dec ’03 • FS run my become necessary to reach all specs • should come in time to allow allow detector swapping • Details from P. Merken PACS Instrument Overview

  14. Raw ramp Blind channel subtracted QM CRE (v05) Performance • Linearity : <3% non-linearity over >2V • Cross talk between channels: <1% full range • Linearity, cross talkmeet requirements • with blind channel subtraction • Noise too high by factor ~5 PACS Instrument Overview 14

  15. Bolometer/Readout Development • QM blue focal plane array mounted at LETI • The working arrays showed a very large responsivity (good!) • The working arrays show very large noise and very slow response of the clocks, due to high contact resistance (~MΩ) at the 2K Buffer Unit level (known error in QM buffer run causing poor indium bumps hybridization) • A new blue focal plane is being mounted with FM Buffer Unit to be used in the CQM • More from L. Rodriguez et al. Blue Focal Plane PACS Instrument Overview

  16. Bolometer/Readout Development Red Focal Plane • A red focal plane with two sub arrays has been assembled • No tests because of known Buffer Unit problems. Decision to replace the BU right away • This detector is now completed and under test • The measured noise levels are good everywhere except for a few pixels on each array • Spectral response measured with FTS; absorption ~80% in band PACS band calculated measured PACS Instrument Overview

  17. requirement goal requirement ^ = 10-16 W/√Hz (requirement) Bolometer Performance Tests • Detector bandwidth measured ~4 - 5 Hz • “1/f” noise “knee”/ stability measurement: no significantincrease downto 0.05 Hz PACS Instrument Overview

  18. 3He Sorption Cooler Development First test with 10 µWapplied load: • • extra load of 8-10 µW identified (potential heat switch problem) • • 10% undercharged • Details from L. Duband 35 hours @ 291 mK PACS Instrument Overview

  19. Chopper • QM delivered for integration in FPU • Performance demonstrated • Scratches on mirror • t.b. avoided with FM • Tests of chopper control with DECMEC and LM concluded • Adjustment of control parameters for QM only during IL tests • Details from R. Hofferbert PACS Instrument Overview 19

  20. Grating Assembly • Grating Mechanism/Drive • STM including new launch-lock (without actuator) passed cryo-vibration test • STM mechanism shows better dynamic characteristics than before vibration. The apparent "friction" torque is roughly reduced by a factor 2 to 3. • Bearings qualified: no movement noise or hard point over the useful stroke • Transformer for Inductosyn position readout shows excellent cold performance. Dissipation measured £ 1.5 mW • CQM delivered to CSL • Few minor NCRs, one major (connectors swapped) • Functional/performance tests performed • FUB QM transformers integrated in QM ILT • Launch-lock actuator will be integrated • Loose spring washer, shaft-to-bearing coupling part has moved in cryo-vibration test PACS Instrument Overview

  21. Grating Assembly • Diffraction grating • QM grating fully characterised • Test of grating constantand grating periodicity: all parameters inor near spec(acceptedby optics SE) PACS Instrument Overview

  22. Warm Electronics: AVM Instrument Level Tests PACS Instrument Overview

  23. Status of AVM Tests (1) • CDMS simulator upgrade to V2.4 • Has solved some counter overrun problem and the time bug (now we have correct TAI) • Burst mode for PACS implemented • DPU OBSW: several updates • Mainly for 1355 link loss investigation • But solving only the other known problems (EEPROM, jump to application software) • Bug found in DPU ISR routine (by comparison with DECMEC) • New problem with 1553 interface discovered. HW? SW?DPU problems not solved in >1 year – start of ILT at risk! • DECMEC OBSW is pretty stable PACS Instrument Overview

  24. Status of AVM Tests (2) • AVM SPU • Identified HW problemfixed • A small problem related to the SPU-DMC 1355 link initial self-test has been found, but apparently this is inherent to the SMCS chip. Either the SPU_SUSW and/or the user manual need to be updated. • SPU HLSW upgraded to version 6.0 • It contains some performance improvements both with respect to CPU work load and compression ratio • Parallel mode will require small update • Goal for CQM is to develop, in parallel, an improved strategy (noise estimate from averaged ramp per pixel) and test it • Down-link of “near-raw” data to allow ramp modeling / glitch removal on ground • CPU load down presently still too high, optimisation in progress PACS Instrument Overview

  25. SPU Ground Simulator Ground simulation of SPU code useful for several reasons: • Use PACS “raw data” transmission mode to redo, on ground, the same operations as performed by the on-board S/W • Dispose of a test bed to try out new compression algorithms before they are up-linked and used by on-board S/W • Subject PACS simulator data to same artifacts, i.e. compression and reduction, as on-board obtaineddata • New version of on-board SPU has been “grounded” in less than five minutes work PACS Instrument Overview

  26. Instrument Performance • Instrument Requirements • Photometer • Spectrometer • Instrument Model • Optical performance • Sensitivity budget • optical transmission • background • detector performance PACS Instrument Overview

  29. Optical Performance • Optical design / implementation fulfills requirements regarding • field of view • spatial sampling • distortion • geometrical spot sizes (Strehl ratio) • alignment • internal calibration capability • chopping • spectral coverage and resolution • transmission / diffraction losses • Details from N. Geis / D. Kampf PACS Instrument Overview

  30. Parameters of PACS Instrument Model(Present estimate, partly based on measurements) (a) Values for the photometry modes from 60-85 or 85-130 µm / 130-210 µm, respectively. (b) The formal transmission of >1 takes into account the acceptance solid angle of the photoconductor light cones / bolometer baffles which differs from the beam solid angle.
