Moving the focus spot by 130 microns moves the pupil image by 75 microns or half a lenslet. This is 180 arc sec in lab-units, or about 3 arc sec on-sky. Stability is needed at the level of 0.1 lenslets, i.e. 36 arc min, or 173 micro-radians. According to Thorlabs, this is way within spec for the mirror mount.\\ \\ The z-translation of the lens tube moves the outer lenslets by 0.5 lenslets at 2.5mm, and the 0.1 lenslet tolerance is a 0.5mm motion of the lens tube. This kind of adjustment precision is possible without any z-translation mounts.\\ \\ Finally - Laszlo suggested that the optical tolerances would be easier if focal-lengths were longer. This Zemax is given below, with a a shopping cart that includes both options.\\ |
