Read Abstract +

We have developed a compact broadband infrared imaging Fourier transform spectrometer, referred to as the 2D FTIR, employing common path wavefront division phase-shift interferometry. The system comprises a 3-reflector point-topoint optical setup with overlapping paths, incorporating two free-form mirrors and a pair of 20 mm high and 40 mm wide planar mirrors. Initially, we establish a one-dimensional multi-slit object plane with spacing tailored to match the FPA detector pixel size, effectively preventing destructive interference. Through precise optimization of the parameters of the two free-form mirrors (Mirror 1: 4th-order Zernike polynomial; Mirror 2: 6th-order Zernike polynomial), we achieve precise beam collimation, reflection through a phase shifter, and subsequent refocusing onto the FPA detector. Utilizing a commercial uncooled bolometer camera with a resolution of 640x480 pixels and a pixel size of 17μm, we attain optimal performance across the 4-20μm wavelength range, coupled with a generous 6mm diameter field of view. The spectrometer boasts a remarkable wavenumber resolution of 2.7 cm^-1, with R (λ=4μm) ≈ 1000, alongside a spatial resolution of 34μm. All components seamlessly fit within a 170x150x80 mm vacuum frame. The 2D FT-IR enables the acquisition of spectral maps post-image capture and offers a broad measurement wavelength range of 4-20 μm. After completion of development, we plan to employ it to study the generation mechanisms of cryogenically frozen organic matter simulating Titan's haze and to measure the low-temperature continuous spectral transmittance and refractive index of the GREX-PLUS spectroscopic components. Additionally, due to its high vibration resistance and compact design, we intend to deploy it as a spectrometer for compact satellites developed by JAXA. Lastly, it will serve as a pivotal test instrument for the PLANETS telescope, facilitating the evaluation of the telescope's resistance to atmospheric disturbances.

Measurements in the infrared wavelength domain allow us to assess directly the physical state and energy balance of cool matter in space, thus enabling the detailed study of the various processes that govern the formation and early evolution of stars and planetary systems in the Milky Way and of galaxies over cosmic time. Previous infrared missions, from IRAS to Herschel, have revealed a great deal about the obscured Universe, but sensitivity has been limited because up to now it has not been possible to fly a telescope that is both large and cold. Such a facility is essential to address key astrophysical questions, especially concerning galaxy evolution and the development of planetary systems. SPICA is a mission concept aimed at taking the next step in mid- and far-infrared observational capability by combining a large and cold telescope with instruments employing state-of-the-art ultra-sensitive detectors. The mission concept foresees a 2.5-meter diameter telescope cooled to below 8 K. Rather than using liquid cryogen, a combination of passive cooling and mechanical coolers will be used to cool both the telescope and the instruments. With cooling not dependent on a limited cryogen supply, the mission lifetime can extend significantly beyond the required three years. The combination of low telescope background and instruments with state-of-the-art detectors means that SPICA can provide a huge advance on the capabilities of previous missions. The SPICA instrument complement offers spectral resolving power ranging from ~50 through 11000 in the 17-230 µm domain as well as ~28.000 spectroscopy between 12 and 18 µm. Additionally, SPICA will be capable of efficient 30-37 µm broad band mapping, and small field spectroscopic and polarimetric imaging in the 100-350 µm range. SPICA will enable far infrared spectroscopy with an unprecedented sensitivity of ~5x10-20 W/m2 (5σ/1hr) - at least two orders of magnitude improvement over what has been attained to date. With this exceptional leap in performance, new domains in infrared astronomy will become accessible, allowing us, for example, to unravel definitively galaxy evolution and metal production over cosmic time, to study dust formation and evolution from very early epochs onwards, and to trace the formation history of planetary systems.
