Nahual is an echelle high resolution spectrograph driven by RV science programs. High stability and reliable operation is obtainedminimizing mechanisms and in a cryogenic environment. It basic mode will allow seeing limited operation for reliability. Nahual will be moved behind the telescope AO system once is fully operational.

Benefits of the double pass design• Twice the dispersion of single pass (with the same number of prisms)• Better AIV process• Upgradeable number of prisms and more room available
Problems of the double pass design• Slightly larger mirrors in the camera• A light astigmatism is introduced because the path is not exactly symmetric.

UPGRADE PATH
•NAHUAL WILL BE READY TO BE USED WITH AO GAINING S/N AND SPATIAL RESOLUTION AS SOON AS THE TELESCOPE AO IS AVAILABLE.We can remove Nahual ADC.Changing the image slicer by a single “long slit” (0.175”x 1.837”).We leave room to allocate a third prism in the cross dispersion unit.
•EXPECTED PERFORMANCES ARE STILL TO BE EVALUATEDThe single object will cover an area about (0.175”x0.175”) against the 0.525”x0.615” of the seeing limited aperture. This is a factor 5 regarding S/N gain due to sky background.•BUT…The AO system will loose light through its path (83% transmission).The AO system is warm, so at the K band an increase of emissivity (around 0.25) for the full system is expected.So the final increase in s/n will be lower (probably a factor 2 or 3).
UPGRADE PATH
•RESULTS OF THE ANALISYS OF UPGRADING WITH A NEW DETECTOR AND CAMERA. ¿WHY IS NOT USEFULL?Original idea was to use the grating of R=40000 at double resolution changing the detector in a 4Kx4K, doubling the camera focal length and reducing the slit aperture to half the current one (to 88 mas).
F7 CAMERA4KX4K DETECTORDesign originally done to consider future envelopes needs
UPGRADE PATH
•All the concept is right considering we are able to maintain the spectral resolution element (the image of the slit) in two pixels.•But that is the problem. The diffraction of the spot at K band does not allow to put all the light in two pixels. Increasing the camera focal length has to be discarded.
First Light Design. F3.5 camera Upgraded Design. F7 camera
Boxes are 2 pixels wide. The slit is projected geometrically in a bit less than two pixels.Circles are the Airy disks at the shown wavelengths (K band edge).
UPGRADE PATH
Real^2= Slit Projection^2+ Psf aberration^2+diffraction^2
With the current camera, the heaviest contribution is that of the Slit projection. Real=41 microns for 36 microns in two pixels.
•31 microns, is the geometrical projection of 175 mas slit on the detector.•18 microns, are the geometrical aberrations (in 1 pixel aprox).•20.5 microns is the Airy disk diameter. (K band edge)
But if we reduce the slit to 88mas, and double the camera focal lenght twice to sample this aperture with two pixels, the values will be Real=54 microns. These are exactly 3 pixels.
•31 microns, is the geometrical projection of 88 mas slit on the detector. (half slit but double camera focal lenght)•18 microns, are the geometrical aberrations (in 1 pixel aprox). (this is a reasonable value we could obtain in a more optimized design)•41 microns is the Airy disk diameter. (the Airy is doubled in size on the detector, because we doubled the camera focal lenght)
UPGRADE PATH
CONCLUSIONS
•Upgrading with a longer focal length camera results in a limited performance.•Upgrading just with a detector has the following problems.
•Severe vignetting could be unavoidable with the current anastigmatic design.•Large marginal angles (twice the current ones) will be responsible of low diffraction efficiencies in a single order within the new detector area.
•Considering the cost of this upgrade with the benefits, it seems not to be worth doing them.
OPTICAL MANAGEMENT: CONCEPTUAL DESIGN PHASE
•Schedule September 2005-September 2006•Resources: 360h for optical design•SCOPE for the conceptual optical design.
•The idea is to have a realistic proporsal from the point of view of manufacturing, cost and that meets the scientific requirements. All the work has to be documented to create and archive and define subsystems and interfaces. •The scope is planned in a series of documented tasks (next slide).

IMAGE SLICER IV. • A trade off analysis regarding the different options is in course.• Simple cryogenic devices are preferred. It will be placed in the focal
plane wheel.• Pupil position and plate scale should be maintained for a straight AO operation.• Many options are initially available. Those identified that will be
analyzed are:-Lenslet array with fiber link and pseudo slit.
-Lenslet array-Reflective. Richardson-Reflective. Micromirrors-Refractive. Waveguide. Suto & Takami-Refractive. Other waveguide modifications-Refractive. Bowen – Walraven (standard, confocal and
modifications)-Refractive. Plate Tilting
• A real test of the final design has to be done in cold if the assembly has not been previously reported.
ERROR BUDGET I. • Preliminary analysis has been done considering a 10% mean
degradation over the nominal design. This analysis has to be updated.
• Optical manufacture and alignment tolerances indicate the need of compensators. The sensitivity analysis pointed the camera as the mayor offender of the system.
• The considered compensators are Detector: piston and tilts. Camera: M3 decenter and tilt.
• These compensators are used during the alignment of the instrument, and will work regarding symmetrical aberrations (spherical and focus), and non symmetrical ones (astigmatism and coma).
• To validate the procedure contact with companies are needed regarding the manufacturing tolerances.
A 50 Monte Carlo run with the considered compensators being evaluated in diffraction ensquared energy. This evaluation was done for the camera alone to consider a complete manufacturer assembly.
