1.Magnify…………
2.Ideally, the sky image from the telescope focal plane should
be absolutely telecentric over the whole field of view.
1.Cassegrain Focus Design
Advantage of Telecentricity:
** “The magnified sky image on the microlens surface must be
telecentric in order to avoid pupil image shift on the microlens, which
may result in light loss that varies across the field.”
** “Magnification M is independent of the distance between the object
(here it is telescope focal plane) and the foreoptics. Conventional
optical systems produce images with higher magnification when the
object is closer to the lens. A telecentric system acts as if it has an
infinite focal length. An object moved from far away to near the optical
system goes into and out of sharp focus,but its image size is constant.”

Design Result:
Focal length of Collimator:45mm
Image size on telescope focal plane(0.5 arcsec): 23.27um
A Lenslet size:200um
Magnification from telescope focal surface
to image slicer/lenslet array:200/23.27=8.594
Focal length of image lens:45*8.594=386.73mm
F/# to Image slicer/Lenslet Surface:12*M=103.12
Fiber array in First Step:30”/0.5”=60
Fiber numbers:60*60=3,600 for SP Beam or PS Beam,Total:7,200
Final Step:60”/0.5=120
Fiber numbers:120*120=14,400 for SP Beam or PS Beam,Total:28,800
for 4 image slicers, each one for 3,600 fibers for SP Beam or PS Beam

Design Result:
 Fiber Core Dia: 60um
 F/# to fiber: f/7
 Lenslet focal length:1400um
 Pupil image on fibre core: 1400/(103.12*1.51) =8.95um
 F/# of fiber output: 1/ (2*(1/7)^2)^(1/2)=f/4.95

Discussion
1. Cassegrain Focus: fiber system following telescope to move,fiber may
be pulled, twistied……
may be Broken
2. Coude Focus Design：
**Optical Path is 4470mm,alignment is difficult
**Rotator precision must be higher
SP and PS Beam coupled to lens array
must be co-spatially aligned or
registered.
The End
