Cameras, Spectrographs & Polarimeters
• Astronomical instruments quantify the intensity of
radiation from distant sources:
i = i(!, ", #, t)
– Where did the photon come from (direction)?
• “Spatial” information, i(!, ") is recorded by a camera
– What is the photon energy (wavelength)?
• Energy information, i(#), E = h#, is recorded by spectroscopy
– When did the photon arrive, i(t)
– What is the polarization state of E?
• Light is a vector wave characterized by two complex numbers
E0x, E
0y or four real real ones (I, Q, U, V)

What’s Special About AO Instruments?
• AO-equipped systems deliver increasedspatial information content
– AO instruments must capture this information
– Spectroscopic, polarization & time-domaininformation of AO corrected data is not unique
• AO instruments record this conventionally– AO spectrographs are distinct from seeing limited
instruments because they can be diffraction limited
• AO enables new modalities– Extremely high contrast

Imaging as Filtering
• An image i(x) is the spatial convolution of thescene s(x) with the PSF t(x)
or in the spectral domain as
The recorded image is the original scenemultiplied by the Fourier transform of thePSF—the optical transfer function T(#)
– T(#) is the filter function
– The image is corrupted by noise, n
i(x) = s(x) ! t(x) + n(x)
I !( ) = S(!) "T(!) + N(!)

Optical Transfer Function
• The sharper the PSF the broader frequency
extent of T(#)
– T(#) tells us how much information from S(#)
ends up in I(#)
• The functional form of T(#) tells us how hard our
astronomical camera has to work
I !( ) = S(!) "T(!) + N(!)
T(!) = FT t x( ){ }

Circular Pupil OTF
Telescope OTF
• Fourier optics shows that T(#) is the autocorrelation of the
pupil function at lag r = &f# = Dtel#n
– The natural unit of spatial frequency is 1/F&
• OTF for a circular pupil is the overlap area

System OTF
• Convolution is associative
f * (g * h) = (f * g) * h
• The convolution theorem lets us write
TSYS = TATM TTEL TAO TCAM
– Instead of performing multiple convolutions we can justmultiply OTFs
• Limitations– Applies to linear systems
– PSF must be spatially invariant

Simplified AO OTF
• AO filters the power spectrum of atmospheric phase errorswithin its spatial frequency bandwidth– AO boosts OTF at high frequencies
• Wavefront sensor measures the atmospheric wavefront )(r)with error ,)(r) and based on this the DM presents )DM(r)
– The corrected wavefront is )AO(r)
• The phase presented by the DM is )DM(r) is found byconvolving the measured wavefront with the influencefunction, h(r)

Camera OTF
• OTF for a perfect camera the is the pixel OTF
– A single perfect pixel, width ,x, convolves the image
with a top hat .(x/,x)
– The pixel OTF is a sinc function
TCAM(#) = TPIX(#) = sinc (# ,x)

Good News/Bad News
• AO delivers sharper images
– Must be sampled more finely than non-AO
– AO instruments need more samples per object to record
the spatial information
• Sampling is done with pixels (picture elements)
– How do we choose ,x?
– Pixels are expensive (noise and $)
– If we want fine sampling with a given array means
trading sampling for field of view

But that’s not the end of the
story

ALIASING

THE SAMPLING THEOREM

26
The Good News:The Sampling Theorem
• So far only we only described the action of
one pixel and its OTF
– To construct an image we need to sample an
array of points
– The Sampling Theorem tells us how close
together those points have to be to record the
signal with no loss of information

27
Detectors for Visible Light
• Most astronomical instruments use arrays of
pixels to sample images
– Detectors based on the photoelectric effect
– Si is used for optical; band gap at 1.1 µm
• Si CCD (refers to how the photodiodes are read)

28
Detectors for Infrared
• Semiconductors materials with smaller
bandgaps are used for longer wavelengths
– Ge (1.6 µm), InxGa1-xAs (1.68–2.6 µm),
Hg1-xCdxTe: (2.5–10 µm), InSb: 4.6 µm

increases inwards
• Low spatial frequenciesare faithfully recorded
• High spatialfrequencies near theorigin are corrupted

The Bad News: Aliasing: 1-d
• A signal with a spatial wavelength of & = 1 (solid)is sampled (dots) at an interval &s = 1.1– The reconstructed signal (dashed) appears at the wrong
wavelength of &a = (&-1 – &s-1 )-1 = 11

multiplication with the bed-of-nails or
Shah function

Sampling of a Continuous Function
• A continuous function f(x) is sampled bymultiplication with III(x/,x)
– The sampled function is III(x/,x) f(x)

38
Sampling in Fourier Space
• In Fourier space the effect of sampling is to convolve the
Fourier spectrum with the FT of III
FT{ f(x) III(x/,x) } = F(v) * FT{ III(x/,x) }
but
FT{ III(x) } = III (#)
• Thus
FT{ f(x) III(x/,x) } = ,x F(v) * III(# ,x)
Sampling replicates the Fourier spectrum at a spatial
frequency intervals equal to the sampling frequency

• To record a band-limited signal with

– Corollary: a fully sampled, band-limited

AO Cameras
• Relay all light collected by the telescope to
the detector
• Sample the focal plane at a spatial
frequency satisfying the sampling theorem

other optical elements
– Conventional cameras may correct residual
telescope aberrations & thereby increase the
field of view, e.g., prime focus corrector
• Control background & stray light

Design Problems
• Available pixel sizes may not be ideal
– CCD's & IR detectors have 10-40$µm pixels
– Detector noise depends on pixel size
• Small pixels have less dark current & read noise
• Arrays have limited number of pixels
– Typically 1024 1 1024 for IR & 4096 1 4096
for CCDs
– Over-sampling is expensive
• Trade spatial sampling & field of view

Diffraction Limited Sampling
• Cut off frequency is 1/F&
– Critical sampling is twice this: 2/F&
– Spatial sampling interval is ,x = F& /2
– Typical telescopes have F = f/Dtel % 15
• Require ,x = 15 µm wide pixels at & = 2 µm
– A camera that is well sampled at 2 µm will be
severely under-sampled at 1 µm
• Need variable magnification or suffer oversampling
at long wavelengths

Focal Reducer for the Infrared
• Collimator doubles as a field lens– Forms an image of the telescope exit pupil at the aperture stop
• An aperture stop is placed between the collimator andcamera lenses– Distance between the collimator and camera equals fcol+fcam

65
Focal Reducer for the Infrared
• A system with entrance & exit pupils at infinity is
telecentric
– All the chief rays—those that go through the center of
the aperture stop—emerge parallel to the optical axis
– Since a real image of the telescope exit pupil is found at
the focal plane of the collimator, an aperture stop at this
location precisely defines the acceptance angle of the
focal reducer
• This stop is vital to rejecting unwanted thermal
radiation from the telescope and sky

71
Size Matters
• Astronomical spectrographs are huge becausemost are not diffraction limited, but seeing-limited– Most astronomical spectrographs are
dispersive—dispersive spectrographs encodewavelength as position
– Image size determines spectral resolution• To prevent light loss at the slit spectrograph size scales linearly
with primary mirror diameter at constant spectral resolution
– Not true for interferometric spectrometers, e.g., Fouriertransform spectrometers
• AO spectrographs can work at the diffraction limitand consequently are more compact

72
Dispersive Spectrometers
• Dispersive spectrometers are a class of instruments thatencode wavelength as position on a focal plane detector
• Dispersion can be caused by refraction or diffraction
• Key element is
– Prism (dn/d& " 0)
– Grating (plane or volume)
• Gratings are favored– Flexible
• Transmission or reflection
• Groove spacing
• Plane or powered surface
– Efficient
• Grating can be blazed
– Lightweight

73
Spectrometers as Imagers
• A dispersive spectrometer is fundamentally a
device which makes an image of a source
– The position of the image encodes wavelength
• Typically the spectrometer makes an image of an
aperture or slit
– In fiber fed spectrometers, the spectrometer makes an
image of the light exiting an optical fiber
• Location & size of the image is determined
jointly by the laws of geometric optics and the
grating equation

Polarimetry & Scattering
• Consider a plane wave propagating in the z-direction, incident on a particle located at theorigin– The direction of the incident and scattered light defines
the scattering plane
• The amplitude of the incident electric field, Ei, canbe written as a sum of Ei// & Ei6, parallel andperpendicular to the scattering plane
• The scattered field, Es, is decomposed into Es// &Es6

Polarization
• If we measure the difference
• This is Stokes Q
• For isotropic particles S is diagonal– If we have single scattering I & Q are all we need
• More generally we want U and possibly V– U is needed to measure arbitrary linear polarization PA
– V measures circular polarization

101
Polarization is a Key Diagnostic
• For edge-on disks polarimetry is essential
– Information about the phase function is lost because of averaging alongthe line of sight
– This information is recovered if Q and U are available because of thedifferent angular dependence of the matrix elements of the complexamplitude scattering function

Implementing a Polarimeter
• A polarimeter consists of a modulator and
an analyzer
– The modulator changes some polarization
property of the incident radiation
– The analyzer sorts the light according to its
polarization state

Polarimetry Components
• Retarder
– Introduces a phase delay between two
perpendicular polarization states (e- and o-rays)
– Birefringent crystals
• e.g., rotating 1/4- and 1/2-wave quartz plates
• A rotating 1/2-wave plate rotates the plane
of a linear polarized wave by 2) when the
fast axis is rotated by )

Calibration
• Polarization calibration is tricky because
– Polarizing elements are not perfect, e.g.,
• The waveplate retardance is not exactly half a wave
• The extinction of the analyzer is not 100%
• Orientations may not be at their nominal values
– Instrumental (de)polarization
• Diffraction (spiders)
• Non-normal reflections
– Telescope, relay optics, detector & dichroic beams splitters
• Birefringent optics (refractive elements)
– Polarization dependent wavefront errors!

Mueller Matrix
• Both calibrations are accomplished by measuring the4 1 4 elements of the system Mueller matrix
– Only seven of the 16 elements are independent, becausethe four complex matrix elements, Sj, have four absolutevalues and three phase differences
• Spatial variation—angles change with field angle
• Time dependent—new configuration (&), image rotators, flexure

• The column vector of measurements are related by a measurement matrix, M’,to the input Stokes vector
• Restating the last equation as
the least squares estimate of Si corresponds to minimizing the norm
which is found by using the pseudo-inverse of the measurement matrix

the amount of light which passes throughan optical system to the image, usuallythe boundary of the primary mirror.
• Cassegrain telescope: a two mirrortelescope with a convex secondary
• Chief ray: any ray from an off-axis objectpoint which passes through the center ofthe aperture stop of an optical system.The chief ray enters the optical systemalong a line directed toward the midpointof the entrance pupil, and leaves thesystem along a line passing through thecenter of the exit pupil
• Entrance pupil: the image of the aperturestop. If there is no physical aperture stop,the entrance pupil is an image of the lensor mirror itself.
• Exit pupil: is a virtual aperture in anoptical system. Only rays that passthrough the exit pupil can exit the system.The exit pupil is the image of the aperturestop in the optics that follow it.
• Fourier transform:
F(#)=( f(x) exp(-2&i # x) dx
• FOV: field of view
• Gregorian telescope: a two mirrortelescope with a concave secondary
• Influence function: shape adopted by the
surface of a deformable mirror when a single
actuator is exercised.
• OTF: the optical transfer function. The spatialfrequency response of a system to a single
harmonic stimulus. Fourier transform of the
PSF.
• Mueller Matrix: a 414 real matrix describeshow optical elements modify the Stokes vector.
• PSF: the spatial response of a system to a point
source.
• Shah function: The sampling function or bed of
nails III(x) = ),(x-j), FT[III(x)]=III(v).
• sinc(x) = sin(!x)/!x — Note Bracewell’s
definition includes &.
• Stokes Vector: (I, Q, U, V) a basis set for
describing partially polarized incoherent light.Q & U describe linear polarization, and V
describes circular polarization.
• Structure function: D"(r) =<|"(x) - " (x+r)|2>
