A unique method to design a high-throughput and high-resolution ultrathin Czerny–Turner (UTCT) spectrometer is proposed. This paper reveals an infrequent design process of spectrometers based on Coddington’s equations, which will lead us to develop a high-performance spectrometer from scratch. The spectrometer is composed of cylindrical elements except a planar grating. In the simulation design, spot radius is sub-pixel size, which means that almost all of the energy is collected by the detector. The spectral resolution is 0.4 nm at central wavelength and 0.75 nm at edge wavelength when the width of slit is chosen to be 25 μm and the groove density is 900 lines/mm.

Abstract WINERED is a novel near-infrared (NIR) high-resolution spectrograph (HRS) that pursues the highest possible sensitivity to realize high-precision spectroscopy in the NIR as in the optical wavelength range. WINERED covers 0.9–1.35 μm (z, Y, and J-bands) with three modes (Wide mode and two Hires modes) at the maximum spectral resolutions of R = 28,000 and R = 70,000. For fulfilling the objective, WINERED is designed with an unprecedentedly high instrument throughput (up to 50% at maximum including the quantum efficiency of the array) that is three times or more than other existing optical/NIR HRSs. This is mainly realized by a combination of non-white pupil and no fiber-fed configuration in optical design, the moderate (optimized) wavelength coverage, and the high-throughput gratings. Another prominent feature of WINERED is “warm” instrument despite for infrared (IR) observations. Such non-cryogenic (no cold stop) IR instrument finally became possible with the combination of custom-made thermal-cut filter of 10−8 class, 1.7 μm cutoff HAWAII-2RG array, and a cold baffle reducing the direct thermal radiation to the IR array into the solid angle of f/2. The thermal background is suppressed below 0.1 photons pixel−1 s−1 even in the wide band of 0.9–1.35 μm under the environment of 290 K. WINERED had been installed to the 3.58 m New Technology Telescope at La Silla Observatory, ESO, since 2017. Even with the intermediate size telescope, WINERED was confirmed to provide a limiting magnitude (for SNR = 30 with 8 hr. integration time) of J = 16.4 mag for the Wide mode and J = 15.1 mag for the Hires mode, respectively, under the natural seeing conditions. These sensitivities are comparable to those for the existing NIR-HRSs attached to the 8–10 m class telescopes with AO. WINERED type spectrographs may become a critical not only for the currently on-going extremely large telescopes to reduce the developing cost and time but also for smaller telescopes to extend their lives with long programs.

Drift Direction

An ion optical design of a high resolution multi-turn time-of-flight mass analyzer (MT-TOF MA) is presented. The analyzer has rotationally symmetric main electrodes with additional mirror symmetry about a mid-plane orthogonal to the axis of symmetry. Rotational symmetry allows a higher density of turns in the azimuthal (drift) direction compared to MT-TOF MAs that are linearly extended in the drift direction. Mirror symmetry about a mid-plane helps to achieve a high spatial isochronicity of the ions’ motion. The analyzer comprises a pair of polar-toroidal sectors S1 and S3, a pair of polar (trans-axial) lenses, and a pair of conical lenses for longitudinal and lateral focusing. A toroidal sector S2 located at the mid-plane of the analyzer has a set of embedded drift focusing segments providing focusing and spatial isochronicity in the drift direction. The ions’ drift in the azimuthal direction can be reversed by using dedicated reversing deflectors. This gives the possibility of several operational modes with different numbers of turns and passes in the drift direction. According to numerical simulations, the mass resolving power of the analyzer ranges from [Formula: see text]40 k (fwhm) at small (typically below ten) numbers of turns to [Formula: see text]450 k (fwhm) at 96 turns.

Abstract The authors describe the optical design of a high-resolution Fourier Transform Spectrometer (FTS), which serves as the primary instrument at the University of Toronto Atmospheric Observatory (TAO). The FTS is dedicated to ground-based infrared solar absorption atmospheric measurements from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Instrument performance is discussed in terms of instrumental line shape (ILS) and phase error and modulation efficiency as a function of optical path difference. Typical measurement parameters are presented together with retrieval parameters used to derive total and partial column concentrations of ozone. Retrievals at TAO employ the optimal estimation method (OEM), and some impacts of the necessary a priori constraints are examined. In March 2004, after participating in a retrieval algorithm user intercomparison exercise, the TAO FTS was granted the status of a Complementary Observation Station within the international community of high-resolution FTS users in the Network for the Detection of Atmospheric Composition and Change (NDACC). During this exercise, average differences between total columns retrieved from the same spectra by different users were below 2.1% for O3, HCl, and N2O in the blind phase, and below 1% in the open phase, when all retrieval constraints were identical. Finally, a 2.5-yr time series of monthly mean stratospheric ozone columns agrees within 3% with those retrieved from Optical Spectrograph and Infrared Imager System (OSIRIS) measurements on board the Odin satellite, which is within the errors of both measurement platforms.
