Optical Performance: Overview
Status Review Image quality Diffracted Starlight Stray (scattered) Light Plans, Contracts, Manpower
Materials, manufacturing etc will be discussed in Pankow’s talk
Optical Performance: Review 1
• Light Gathering Power — must measure SNe 4 magnitudes fainter than 26 magnitude peak
— require SNR of 50:1 at peak brightness
— presence of zodiacal light foreground radiation
— time-on-target limited by revisit rate & number of fields
— spectroscopy demands comparable time-on-target
— requires geometric diameter ~ 2 meters
• Angular resolution— signal to noise ratio is driver
— diffraction limit imposes upper bound
— Airy disk at one micron wavelength is 0.12 arcseconds FWHM
— other blur contributions must be kept well below this limit.
• Field of View— determined by required supernova discovery rate
— volume of space is proportional to field of view
— one square degree area will deliver the requisite discovery rate
• Wavelength Coverage— 0.35 to 1.7 microns requires all-reflector optical train
Optical Performance: Review 2
• Aperture: 2 meters
• Field of View: 1 sq deg
• Wavelength Range: 0.35 to 1.7 microns
• Strehl: >91% at 1.0 microns
• WFE: <50 nm RMS
• Focal surface: flat
• EFL: 21.66 meters, f/11
• Stray light: << Zodiacal

Optical Performance: Review 3
• Wide-field high-resolution telescopes are NOT new—Schmidt cameras (1930 to present)
—Wynne cameras (e.g. FAUST)
—Field-widened cassegrains, Gascoigne (1977-); SDSS
—Paul three-mirror telescopes (1935) and Baker-Paul
—Cook three-mirror anastigmats (1979)
—Williams TMA variants (1979)
—Korsch family of TMAs (1980)
—Angel-Woolf-Epps three-mirror design (1982)
—McGraw three-mirror system (1982)
—Willstrop “Mersenne Schmidt” family (1984)
—Kodak “IKONOS” Earth Resources telescope = TMA
—LANL/Sandia/DOE Multispectral Thermal Imager = TMA
Optical Performance: Review 4
• 1999-2002: Suitability Assessments—off-axis designs attractive but unpackagable; rejected
—four, five, and six-mirror variants explored; rejected
—eccentric pupil designs explored; rejected
—annular field TMA concept rediscovered & developed
—TMA43 (f/10): satisfactory performance but lacked margins for adjustment
—TMA55 (f/10): improved performance, shorter pri-sec, margins OK
—TMA59 (f/15): same but with longer focal length
—TMA62 (f/11): transverse rear axis with filter wheel
—TMA63 (f/11): transverse rear axis, no filter wheel

Optical Performance: Review 5
• Existing technologies are suitable for SNAP Optical Telescope Assembly• New materials, processes, test & evaluation methods are unnecessary• Mirror materials
— Corning ULE glass: extensive NRO flight history, but expensive
— Schott Zerodur glass/ceramic composite: lower cost, widely used in ground based astronomical telescopes; huge industrial base
— Astrium/Boostec SiC-100: newcomer; unproven in space optics; higher CTE; adoped for Herschel/FIRST in infrared
• Structural materials— M55J carbon fiber + cyanate ester resin; epoxy adhesive bonds
— full report in Pankow presentation
• Mirror finishing technology— conventional grind/polish/figure using abrasives
— ion-beam figuring available from two vendors
• Mirror surface metrology— same as other space telescopes, e.g. cassegrains
— standard interferometer setups will do the job for SNAP
— no unusual accuracy drivers have been encountered
Optical Performance: Review 6
• Prolate ellipsoid concave primary mirror• Hyperbolic convex secondary mirror• Flat folding mirror with central hole• Prolate ellipsoid concave tertiary mirror• Flat focal plane• Delivers < 0.06 arcsecond FWHM geometrical blur over annular field 1.37 sqdeg• Adapts to focal lengths 20 meters through 30 meters; baseline=21.66m• Provides side-mounted detector location for best detector cooling

Image Quality 2
• Science SNR drives Strehl ratio— Imperfections in delivered wavefront cause
central PSF intensity to be less than ideal diffraction-limited PSF
— This ratio is the “Strehl Ratio”
• Systems Engineer manages WFE budget— geometrical aberrations
— manufacturing figure errors & cost
— alignment errors in 1-g environment
— gravity release in mirrors & structure
— launch induced shifts & distortions
— on-orbit thermal distortion
— ageing & creep of metering structure
— how many on-orbit adjustments?
• Primary mirror dominates WFE budget because it is the most expensive to figure.
• Non-optical factors:— Attitude control system stability
— Transparency & optical depth in silicon

• For diffraction-limited optics, rmsWFE or Strehl @0.633um is usually the governing procurement specification
• SNAP exposure-time-critical science is at wavelengths > 0.63um• Science team needs to be aware of cost/schedule/quality trades

Mirror surface specification
• Example: overall telescope 43 nm RMS WFE
— gives Strehl= 0.93 at 1000 nm
— gives Strehl=0.90 at 830 nm
— gives Strehl=0.83 at 633 nm
• Example: overall telescope 50 nm RMS WFE
— gives Strehl=0.91 at 1000 nm
— gives Strehl=0.87 at 830 nm
— gives Strehl=0.77 at 633 nm
• WFE to be budgeted among pri, sec, flat, and tertiary mirrors
— detailed breakdown to be determined
• How sensitive are cost & schedule to our WFE specification?
• Encircled Energy specification needs to be defined
— central obstruction 40% radius, 16% area
— with this obstruction alone, EE=50% at 0.088arcsec diam @633nm or EE=80% at 0.23arcsec diam @633nm
— Budget lower EE for aberrations, spider, figuring, thermal, gravity..
Image Quality 5
• Strehl vs Aperture Trade
— Strehl (image quality) costs time & money
— Aperture (image quantity) costs time & money
— Central obscuration trades off with stray light
— NIR (not visible) is where SNR demands the most observing time
— Is 77% Strehl and 2.0 meters aperture the right mix?
• Encircled Energy Specification
— High spatial frequency figure errors lose photons
— Low spatial frequency figure errors broaden the encircled energy
— Steeper EE curves demand absence of LSF amplitudes
— Is 70% EE at 0.1 arcsecond the right target?
• Quantitative answers require modelling
• Our sim team can deal with image quality trades
• We expect to resolve these issues during R&D phase

Diffracted Starlight 11
• Extensive work with sim team• Modelling PSF for SNR, exposure times...• Modelling wings of diffraction pattern• Algorithms for photometry in presence of diffraction• Determination of effective SNR• Inputs from our known sky, down to V=19 (SDSS)• How well can these effect be modelled?
Stray Light 1
• Guiding principle: keep total stray light FAR BELOW natural Zodi
• R.O.M. assessment gives...— Natural Zodi (G.Aldering) = 1 photon/pixel/sec/micron— Starlight+Zodi scattered off primary mirror = 0.002— Starlight+Zodi scattered off support spider < 0.001
— Sunlight scattered off forward outer baffle edge = 2E-5 — Earthlight scattered off forward outer baffle inner surface = 0.02— Total stray = 0.02 photon/pixel/sec/micron
• ISAL conclusion: “manageable”
• Long outer baffle is clearly preferred— limit is launch fairing and S/C size
• ASAP software in place• ASAP training begun
• Preliminary telescope ASAP models being built• ASAP illumination environment models not yet started• Our intension is to track hardware & ops changes as they occur,
allowing a “system engineering management” of stray light.
