Near IR Spectrometer for
UCLA/Keck Telescope

- Description: 1-5µm near-infrared
spectrometer being built by the UCLA Astronomy Dept. for
installation at the Keck II telescope on Mauna Kea,
Hawaii. Operating cryogenically and in vacuum, the
cross-dispersed echelle spectrometer utilizes an
all-reflective, unobscured design for maximum light
throughput. See McLean et.al., "NIRSPEC", SPIE Vol. 2475,
p.350.
- My Role: Early conceptual design
studies for the optics, optical design including a novel,
f/2.8 TMA telescope, fabrication and alignment
support.
