    FRIDA: diffraction-limited imaging and integral-field spectroscopy for the GTC
    FRIDA is a diffraction-limited imager and integral-field spectrograph for the adaptive-optics focus of the Gran Telescopio Canarias. In imaging mode FRIDA provides scales of 10, 20 and 40 mas/pixel and in IFS mode spectral resolutions of about 1200, 4000 and 30,000. Coronographic masks are available in both modes for high-contrast images. FRIDA is

    GRANCAIN: the first light infrared camera for the adaptive optics of GTC: optical and mechanical design status
    The Gran Telescopio de Canarias Adaptive Optic System (GTCAO) is designed to provide nearly diffraction-limited images to GTC. GRANCAIN (GRAN CAmara INfrarroja) is a first light imaging instrument in J, H, and K infrared bands, and it will be integrated into the Nasmyth focus of GTCAO, contributing to carry out his acceptance tests. The instrument

    GTC Laser Guide Star Facility thermal design
    The Laser Guide Star Facility (LGSF) of Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) will be in charge of generating a Laser Guide Star (LGS) in the high atmosphere for the GTC Adaptive Optics System (GTCAO) to measure and correct the effect of the atmospheric turbulence. This proceeding analyses the thermal response of the LGS launch systems in operation under

    HARMONI - the Extremely Large Telescope first light integral field spectrograph: pre-optics: stray light analysis
    HARMONI is the first light visible and near-IR integral field spectrograph for the ELT. It covers a large spectral range from 450nm to 2450nm with resolving powers from 3500 to 18000 and spatial sampling from 60mas to 4mas. The pre-optics take light entering the science cryostat (from the telescope or calibration system), reformatting and

    HARMONI at ELT: designing a laser guide star wavefront sensors for the ELT
    HARMONI is the first light visible and near-IR integral field spectrograph for the ELT covering a large spectral range from 450nm to 2450nm with resolving powers from 3500 to 18000 and spatial sampling from 60mas to 4mas. It can operate in two Adaptive Optics modes - SCAO and LTAO - or with no AO. The project is preparing for Final Design Reviews
