Pizzella can provide further details). Action Log : Thursday, August 05, 1999 4:26:45 PM gandreon Since a detailed study has to be peroformed, this cannot be considered any longer an action point. CLOSED WITHOUT ACTION. Thursday, August 05, 1999 10:31:13 AM agilliot The final solution on improving the illumination is not as simple as it seems. Increasing the size of the projected spot over the slit/fiber head area will certainly fulfill the Boller & Chivens requirements. But the flux will decrease too much for the Fiber input area and could not be acceptable for Feros ! A new study of the calibration lamp unit is then required Of course more time must be allocated to complete the project. A possible compromise will be the focus the light from Hear as well as White along a simulated wide slit covering the B&C one and the fiber inputs. Cylindrical optics could be foreseen for that purpose. The deadline must be pushed further away. Thursday, July 22, 1999 4:11:02 PM gandreon Deadline assigned for new improvements. Thursday, June 24, 1999 4:19:29 PM gandreon A new deadline has to be agreed after analysis from mechanics. Monday, June 21, 1999 11:50:47 AM rtighe Tests done with A.Pizzella clearly show that a simple adjustment of the HeAr lamp illumination lens is not the solution. The FEROS+B&C's cal. lamps illumination unit was designed to produce a ~15mm spot at the entrance of the B&C calibration optics. This was clearly too small so A.Kaufel increased the spot size by defocusing a bit some lenses. The lamps housing has an exit beam aperture of ~20mm. and it is now limiting the spot size. To increase the aperture diameter isn't so easy because the unit needs to be disassembled ( a day would be needed). It's a matter that needs to be studied with mechanics (W.Eckert). A modification of the HeAr illumination optics may be required as well. And the 2p2Team should schedule the work for some maintenance period.
