Large Micromirror Array Based on a Scalable Technology for Astronomical Instrumentation

Michael David Canonica

Understanding the formation of galaxies and studying the expansion of the Universe, need the spectral characterization of faint astronomical objects such as stars or galaxies. From these spectra, the distance, the velocity and the chemical composition of t ...

Optical characterization of fully programmable MEMS diffraction gratings

Michael David Canonica, Wilfried Noell, Robert Andrew Lockhart

We have fabricated and characterized fully programmable diffraction gratings consisting of 64 silicon micro-mirrors. The mirrors are 700 mu m long and 50 mu m wide with a fill factor of 90%. They are actuated electrostatically and move down by 1.25 mu m wh ...

The two-dimensional array of 2048 tilting micromirrors for astronomical spectroscopy

Nico de Rooij, Michael David Canonica, Wilfried Noell

In multi-object spectrometers, field selectors, which are located in the focal plane of the telescopes, are required for the selection of astronomical objects, such as stars or faint galaxies. We present a two-dimensional micromirror array as a field selec ...
