Echelon Grating

The Echelon-cross-echelle spectrograph (EXES) is a high spectral resolution, mid-infrared spectrograph designed for and operated on the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA). EXES has multiple operational modes, but is optimized for high spectral resolution. The heart of the instrument is a one meter long, diamond-machined echelon grating. EXES also uses a 10242 Si:As detector optimized for low-background flux. We will discuss the design, operation and performance of EXES.

A short review is given about infrared emission spectroscopy of hot carbon vapors and plasmas obtained using Fourier transform infrared emission and laser induced breakdown LIB spectroscopies in the mid-infrared range. Labor-atory FTIR emission spectra contain vibrational bands from fullerenes C60, C70 whereas laboratory mid-infrared LIB spectra show bands that belong to mostly unidentified carbon molecules and clusters. Both kinds of spectra are com-pared to spectral results from infrared astronomy. The spectra are discussed with a view for possible applications in carbon nanostructure research and in infrared astronomy. Possible extensions for laser induced breakdown (plasma) spectroscopy are suggested.

AbstractThe status of Japan's planning of the optical/infrared astronomy projects for the 2010's is briefly reviewed. The road map shows a 30 m class extremely large ground based telescope project with advanced adaptive optics capability, JELT, and a mid-infrared optimized 3.5 m space telescope project, SPICA, as the top-priority major project to be accomplished probably on international collaboration basis.
