Development of an Advanced Image Slicer Integral Field Unit for Diffraction-Limited 3-D Imaging, Spectroscopy and Polarimetry

AST-0352826/REN，PSU将开发第一个用于太阳望远镜的先进图像切片器积分场单元。整体式野外单元将在基特峰的麦克马思-皮尔斯望远镜上进行测试，并作为设施仪器使用。未来的4米口径先进技术太阳望远镜也将需要这样的积分场单位作为其仪器套件。积分场单元将充分利用麦克马思-皮尔斯望远镜上的自适应光学校正图像，并将针对红外进行优化，以解决在可见光波长下无法研究的问题。

AST-0352826/Ren, PSUThe first Advanced Image Slicer Integral Field Unit for a solar telescope will be developed. The Integral Field Unit will be tested and used as a facility instrument at the McMath-Pierce Telescope at Kitt Peak. The future 4-meter aperture Advanced Technology Solar Telescope will also require such Integral Field Units for its suite of instruments. The Integral Field Unit will take full advantage of the Adaptive Optics-corrected image on the McMath-Pierce telescope, and will be optimized for infrared to address questions that cannot be studied at visible wavelengths.
