Optical Status

 

A fully tolleranced optical design has been completed and is currently under fabrication by Janos Technology of Townshend Vermont. Janos is also supplying high efficiency anti-reflection coatings for the FLAMINGOS optics. As of 6/1/99 all but two of the optics have been delivered. A second set of these optics is being produced in parallel with the FLAMINGOS optics. The second set of optics will be used in a wide field imager for the CTIO 4-m. We expect delivery by the end of June of all parts.
