    M1 Assembly for the EST: selection of the most promising baseline configuration for the preliminary design
    The European Solar Telescope (EST) is a 4-m class solar telescope that will be installed at the Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos in La Palma (Spain). Two important factors make EST different from other similar size telescopes: high thermal load due to solar radiation and open dome configuration during observation. Therefore, the entire

    Model-based optics and optomechanics for the New Robotic Telescope (NRT) design
    The NRT is an international collaboration to design and build a leading astronomical facility in the optical and near infrared ranges for the emergent area of time domain astronomy. That relies on the combination of a large collecting area (4 m diameter), quick response (<30 s), and full robotic operation. The system level analysis and trade-offs

    New Robotic Telescope optical design
    The New Robotic Telescope will be a fully autonomous, rapid reaction, primarily spectroscopic facility for the classification of astronomical transients. The 4.18m diameter primary mirror is to be composed of 18 hexagonal mirror segments, arranged with a secondary mirror that feeds the Cassegrain focal stations with an F/10.635 beam. The final

    NIRPS fiber-link design, performances and modal noise mitigation performances tested on sky
    NIRPS (Near Infra-Red Planet Searcher) is an AO-assisted and fiber-fed high-resolution spectrograph operating in the YJH-bands at the ESO 3.6m telescope in La Silla Observatory, Chile. The optimal geometrical scrambling and the minimization of the modal noise, requested to reach 1 m s−1 precision in radial velocity, is obtained by combining

    Optical and mechanical updates in the GREGOR Infrared Spectrograph for simultaneous spectral observations
    The GREGOR Infrared Spectrograph (GRIS) can perform spectropolarimetric observations in 1.0-1.8 μm and pure spectroscopic in the band 2.0-2.3 μm. The spectrograph has a Czerny-Turner design and has allowed the operation in the traditional long-slit mode since 2014. And also, in IFU mode since was upgraded in 2018. A third upgrade took place in 2021

    Optical design of an image slicer-based integral field unit for the THEMIS solar telescope
    THEMIS, a 90 cm solar telescope, offers spectropolarimetric observations in the VIS and NIR spectral ranges through a long-slit spectrograph. Now, an image slicer-based Integral Field Unit (IFU) is being developed as an evolution of the long-slit set-up. The IFU will allow observing a 2D Field-of-View (FoV) and several spectral regions
