We propose a multi-slits extreme ultraviolet imaging spectrograph for global coronal diagnostics with high cadence and present the preliminary instrument designs for the wavelength range from 18.3 to 19.8 nm. The instrument takes a comprehensive approach to obtain global coronal spatial and spectral information, improve the detected cadence and avoid overlapping. We first describe the relationship between optical properties and structural parameters, especially the relationship between the overlapping and the number of slits, and give a general multi-slits extreme-ultraviolet imaging spectrograph design process. The multilayer structure is optimized to enhance the effective areas in the observation band. Five distantly-separated slits are set to divide the entire solar field of view, which increase the cadence for raster scanning the solar disk by 5 times relative to a single slit. The spectral resolving power of the optical system with an aperture diameter of 150 mm are optimized to be greater than 1461. The spatial resolution along the slits direction and the scanning direction are about <span>(4.4^{prime prime })</span> and <span>(6.86^{prime prime })</span>, respectively. The Al/Mo/B<span>(_4)</span>C multilayer structure is optimized and the peak effective area is about 1.60 cm<span>(^2)</span> at 19.3 nm with a full width at half maximum of about 1.3 nm.

Existing methods for measuring deformations often fall short in meeting the demands of full attitude coverage, quasi-real-time response, and high accuracy. This study introduces a novel geometric-optical measurement approach based on light-tracing. Diverging from traditional methods, this approach doesn’t directly measure the surface deformation of the main reflector. Instead, it creates a more easily measurable variable and establishes a mapping relationship between this variable and the main reflector deformation. In this innovative scheme, multiple laser modules are strategically positioned on the main reflector, treating the sub reflector as a spot projection surface. When the panel is displaced, the spot on the projection surface will follow and be displaced. In practice, the main reflector deformation can be solved by recording the position change of the light spots on the projection surface and utilizing the inverse reconstruction model. Besides, effective strategies are proposed to improve the robustness of the scheme. Next, the accuracy and real-time performance of the proposed method are verified through simulations and experiments. Results indicate that the proposed approach presents a fresh perspective to enhance the efficiency and precision of deformation measurements for large-aperture antennas.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":551,"journal":{"name":"Experimental Astronomy","volume":"58 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142447314","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To improve the manufacturing process, it is necessary to study the relationship between metrological characterization and angular resolution via ray-optics or wave-optics models. The model calculations produce inconsistent results depending on the characteristics of wide-band surface errors, which require validation before their application in the Wolter-I type optics.

The first sample uses the Aluminum alloy substrate and the second sample uses the Aluminum alloy coated with Nickel-Phosphorous as the substrate. Tungsten is coated on both substrates to increase the X-ray reflectivity. The metrological characterization is inspected using the Fizeau interferometer and 3D optical profiler. The X-ray calibration of the mirror is performed in the 100-m X-ray Test Facility of Institute of High Energy Physics using the Color X-ray Camera. Both ray-optics and wave-optics models are validated in a wide scope of applications from smooth to relatively rough surfaces.
