Cryogenic tests of volume-phase holographic gratings. (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Tamura, N., Murray, G. J., Luke, P., Blackburn, C., Robertson, D. J., Dipper, N. A., Sharples, R. M., & Allington-Smith, J. R. (2004, September). Cryogenic tests of volume-phase holographic gratings. Presented at Ground-based Instrumentation for Astronomy, Glasgow, Scotland

We present results from cryogenic tests of a Volume-Phase Holographic (VPH) grating at 200 K measured at near-infrared wavelengths. The aims of these tests were to see whether the diffraction efficiency and angular dispersion of a VPH grating are sig... Read More about Cryogenic tests of volume-phase holographic gratings..

A connectorized fiber downlink for FMOS. (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Murray, G. J., Luke, P., Robertson, D. J., & Tamura, N. (2003, April). A connectorized fiber downlink for FMOS. Presented at Fiber-based Component Fabrication, Testing, and Connectorization, Brugge, Belgium

A consortium of UK, Australian and Japanese groups is designing a fibre-fed near IR (J & H band) multi-object spectrograph (FMOS) for the Subaru telescope. The prime focus of the telescope will support a 400-fibre multi-object positioning system, ECH... Read More about A connectorized fiber downlink for FMOS..

Presentation / Conference Contribution
Lewis, I. J., Dalton, G. B., Holmes, A. R., Brooks, B., Band, C., Tosh, I. A., Woodhouse, G. F., Cavan, N., Murray, G. J., Robertson, D. J., Dipper, N. A., & Luke, P. (2003, March). Developments on the UK FMOS project for the Subaru telescope. Presented at Instrument Design and Performance for Optical/Infrared Ground-based Telescopes, Waikoloa, Hawai'i

We describe the UK participation in the FMOS project to provide multi-object IR spectroscopy for the Subaru telescope. The UK is working on the design of an OH suppression IR spectrograph, this work comprises the optical design, the opto-mechanical l...
