Abstract

A new detector controller, NGCII, is in development for the first-generation instruments of the ELT as well as new instruments for the VLT. Building on experience with previous ESO detector controllers, a modular system based on the MicroTCA.4 industrial standard, is designed to control a variety of infrared and visible light scientific and wavefront sensor detectors. This article presents the early development stages of NGCII hardware and firmware from the decision to start an all-new design to first tests with detectors and ROICs.

Abstract

The Son Of X-Shooter (SOXS) is a single object spectrograph, built by an international consortium for the 3.58-m ESO New Technology Telescope at the La Silla Observatory [1]. It offers a simultaneous spectral coverage over 350-2000 nm, with two separate spectrographs. In this paper we present the status of the Near InfraRed (NIR) cryogenic echelle cross-dispersed spectrograph [1], in the range 0.80-2.00 {\mu}m with 15 orders, equipped with an 2k x 2k Hawaii H2RG IR array from Teledyne, working at 40K, that is currently assembled and tested on the SOXS instrument, in the premises of INAF in Padova. We describe the different tests and results of the cryo, vacuum, opto-mechanics and detector subsystems that finally will be part of the PAE by ESO., Comment: 8 Pages, 7 Figures, Astronomical Telescopes and Instrumentation, SPIE Proceedings 2024

Abstract

New longwave HgCdTe detectors are critical to upcoming plans for ground-based infrared astronomy. These detectors, with fast-readouts and deep well-depths, will be key components of extremely large telescope instruments and therefore must be well understood prior to deployment. We analyze one such HgCdTe detector, a Teledyne Imaging Sensors GeoSnap, at the University of Michigan. We find that the properties of the GeoSnap are consistent with expectations from analysis of past devices. The GeoSnap has a well-depth of 2.75 million electrons per pixel, a read noise of 360 e-/pix, and a dark current of 330,000 e-/s/pix at 45 K. The device experiences 1/f noise which can be mitigated relative to half-well shot noise with modest frequency image differencing. The GeoSnap's quantum efficiency is calculated to be 79.7 +- 8.3 % at 10.6 microns. Although the GeoSnap's bad pixel fraction, on the order of 3%, is consistent with other GeoSnap devices, close to a third of the bad pixels in this detector are clustered in a series of 31 "leopard" spots spread across the detector plane. We report these properties and identify additional analyses that will be performed on future GeoSnap detectors., Comment: 16 pages, 9 figures, Submitted to SPIE Astronomical Telescopes + Instrumentation 2024

Abstract

New mid-infrared HgCdTe (MCT) detector arrays developed in collaboration with Teledyne Imaging Sensors (TIS) have paved the way for improved 10-$\mu$m sensors for space- and ground-based observatories. Building on the successful development of longwave HAWAII-2RGs for space missions such as NEO Surveyor, we characterize the first 13-$\mu$m GeoSnap detector manufactured to overcome the challenges of high background rates inherent in ground-based mid-IR astronomy. This test device merges the longwave HgCdTe photosensitive material with Teledyne's 2048x2048 GeoSnap-18 (18-$\mu$m pixel) focal plane module, which is equipped with a capacitive transimpedance amplifier (CTIA) readout circuit paired with an onboard 14-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The final assembly yields a mid-IR detector with high QE, fast readout (>85 Hz), large well depth (>1.2 million electrons), and linear readout. Longwave GeoSnap arrays would ideally be deployed on existing ground-based telescopes as well as the next generation of extremely large telescopes. While employing advanced adaptive optics (AO) along with state-of-the-art diffraction suppression techniques, instruments utilizing these detectors could attain background- and diffraction-limited imaging at inner working angles <10 $\lambda/D$, providing improved contrast-limited performance compared to JWST MIRI while operating at comparable wavelengths. We describe the performance characteristics of the 13-$\mu$m GeoSnap array operating between 38 and 45K, including quantum efficiency, well depth, linearity, gain, dark current, and frequency-dependent (1/f) noise profile., Comment: 17 pages, 17 figures.

Abstract

SOXS will be the new spectroscopic facility for the ESO NTT telescope able to cover the optical and NIR bands by using two different arms: the UV-VIS (350-850 nm), and the NIR (800-2000 nm). In this article, we describe the development status of the visible camera cryostat, the architecture of the acquisition system and the progress in the electronic design. The UV-VIS detector system is based on a CCD detector 44-82 from e2v, a custom detector head, coupled with the ESO continuous flow cryostats (CFC), a custom cooling system, based on a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), and the New General Controller (NGC) developed by ESO. This paper outlines the development status of the system, describes the design of the different parts that make up the UV-VIS arm and is accompanied by a series of information describing the SOXS design solutions in the mechanics and in the electronics parts. The first tests of the detector system with the UV-VIS camera will be shown., Comment: 10 pager, 13 figures

Abstract

MOONS is a multi-object spectrograph for the ESO VLT covering a simultaneous wavelength range of 0.6-1.8 microns using approximately 1000 fibres. It uses four Teledyne Imaging Systems H4RG-15 4K x 4K detectors with 2.5 $\mu$m cut-off material for the two longer wavebands (YJ and H). Since the spectrographs utilize an extremely fast modified Schmidt camera design, then the detectors are situated in the optical beam and hence required the development of a novel 64- channel cryogenic differential cryogenic preamplifier, minimized for optical footprint which will be reported on. We have operated the Engineering Grade H4RG detector at a range of temperatures from 90K to 40K and we will report on the advantages of the lower operational temperature. We have completed a full persistence analysis and are able to model it reasonably well and will offer a correction for it in our data pipeline. We have also configured the detector for use with both unbuffered and buffered outputs and report on the differences in performance between the two output types. We have also seen some programming issues with the detector type and will report on our work-around for this, we will also describe the use of the column-deselect feature and row skipping to minimize the effects of PEDs. We have also measured charge injection per read and report on this, likewise we have also measured the inter-pixel capacitance in different regions of the detector. We will present all these results together with a summary of the complete performance characteristics of this detector family., Comment: Proceedings of the SPIE Astronomical Telescopes and Instrumentation conference 2020

Abstract

The Teledyne HxRG detectors have versatile and programmable output options to allow operation of them in a variety of configurations such as slow unbuffered, slow buffered, fast buffered or unbuffered modes to optimise the detector performance for a given application. Normally at ESO, for low noise operation, the detectors are operated in slow unbuffered mode. Whilst the slow unbuffered mode offers a simple interface to the external preamplifier electronics, the detector operation in this mode can suffer from reduced pixel frequency response and higher electrical crosstalk between the readout channels. In the context of the detector systems required for the first generation instruments of the ELT (MICADO, HARMONI and METIS), an exercise was undertaken to evaluate the noise, speed and crosstalk performance of the detectors in the slow buffered mode. A test preamplifier has been designed with options to operate a H2RG detector in buffered or unbuffered and with or without using the reference output, so a direct performance comparison can be made between different modes. This paper presents the performance advantages such as increased pixel frequency response, elimination of electrical crosstalk between the readout channels and the noise performance in the buffered mode operation. These improvements allow us to achieve the same frame readout time using half the detector cryogenic electronics and detector controller electronics for the ELT instruments, which significantly reduces the associated cryomechanical complexities in the instrument., Comment: Proceedings of the SPIE Astronomical Telescopes and Instrumentation conference 2020

Abstract

The scientific detector systems for the ESO ELT first-light instruments, HARMONI, MICADO, and METIS, together will require 27 science detectors: seventeen 2.5 $\mu$m cutoff H4RG-15 detectors, four 4K x 4K 231-84 CCDs, five 5.3 $\mu$m cutoff H2RG detectors, and one 13.5 $\mu$m cutoff GEOSNAP detector. This challenging program of scientific detector system development covers everything from designing and producing state-of-the-art detector control and readout electronics, to developing new detector characterization techniques in the lab, to performance modeling and final system verification. We report briefly on the current design of these detector systems and developments underway to meet the challenging scientific performance goals of the ELT instruments., Comment: Proceedings of the SPIE Astronomical Telescopes and Instrumentation Conference 2020

Abstract

HxRG detectors have crosstalk between amplifier channels at a scientifically relevant level. In principle, crosstalk signals can be fully calibrated and removed from data, but only if a full crosstalk matrix is measured for the detector. We present a fast method of crosstalk characterization that can be performed with most instrument calibration units; it requires only a flat-field illumination and window programming in the HxRG detectors. We show the crosstalk matrices obtained with this method for both fast and slow mode in an H2RG detector, and give examples of how this data can be used to tune detector operation parameters, feed back into the electronics design for the cryogenic pre-amplifiers, and be used in the data pipeline to remove crosstalk signal from scientific data., Comment: Proceedings of the Scientific Detector Workshop, Space Telescope Science Institute, Baltimore, MD, USA, 24-49 September, 2017.

Abstract

Near‐infrared adaptive optics as well as fringe tracking for coherent beam combination in optical interferometry require the development of high‐speed sensors. Because of the high speed, a large analog bandwidth is required. The short exposure times result in small signal levels which require noiseless detection. Both requirements cannot be met by state‐of‐the‐art conventional CMOS technology of near‐infrared arrays as has been attempted previously. A total of five near‐infrared SAPHIRA 320 × 256 pixel HgCdTe e−APD arrays have been deployed in the wavefront sensors and in the fringe tracker of the VLTI instrument GRAVITY. The current limiting magnitude for coherent exposures with GRAVITY is mk = 19, which is made possible with ADP technology. New avalanche photo‐diode array (APD) developments since GRAVITY include the extension of the spectral sensitivity to the wavelength range from 0.8 to 2.5 μm. After GRAVITY a larger format array with 512 × 512 pixels has been developed for both AO applications at the ELT and for long integration times. Since dark currents of <10−3 e−/s have been demonstrated with 1Kx1K e−APD arrays and 2Kx2K e−APD arrays have already been developed, the possibilities and adaptations of e−APD technology to provide noiseless large‐format science‐grade arrays for long integration times are also discussed.

Abstract

CRIRES+ extended the capabilities of CRIRES, the CRyogenic InfraRed Echelle Spectrograph. It transformed this VLT instrument into a cross-dispersed spectrograph to increase the wavelength range that is covered simultaneously by a factor of ten. In addition, a new detector focal plane array of three Hawaii 2RG detectors with a 5.3 mu m cut-off wavelength replaced the existing detectors. Amongst many other improvements a new spectropolarimetric unit was added and the calibration system has been enhanced. The instrument was installed at the VLT on Unit Telescope 3 beginning of 2020 and successfully commissioned and verified for science operations during 2021, partly remote from Europe due to the pandemic. The instrument was subsequently offered to the community from October 2021 onwards. This article describes the performance and capabilities of this development and presents on sky results.

Abstract

In early 2020 the upgraded(1) CRIRES2 instrument, was installed at the VLT, however the onset of the global pandemic prevented the completion of some aspects of the installation while characterisation and commissioning had to be conducted with a remote connection from Europe. This resulted in a somewhat experimental, ad-hoc, approach to characterisation that required tight co-ordination between Paranal scientists and the instrument team in Europe. Moreover, with the observatory operating at minimal staffing, we had to find workarounds for some unfinished parts of the installation and adapt our characterisation, calibration and operations strategies accordingly. In particular, we discuss the adaptation made to the metrology strategy that illustrates well the pragmatic and ultimately successful approach adopted for getting CRIRES+ ready for operations.

Abstract

MOONS is the new Multi-Object Optical and Near-infrared Spectrograph currently under construction for the Very Large Telescope (VLT) at ESO. This remarkable instrument combines, for the first time, the collecting power of an 8-m telescope, 1000 fibres with individual robotic positioners, and both low- and high-resolution simultaneous spectral coverage across the 0.64-1.8 micron wavelength range. This facility will provide the astronomical community with a powerful, world-leading instrument able to serve a wide range of Galactic, extragalactic and cosmological studies. Construction is now proceeding full steam ahead and this overview article presents some of the science goals and the technical description of the MOONS instrument. More detailed information on the MOONS surveys is provided in the other dedicated articles in this Messenger issue., Comment: 8 pages, 5 Figures, Published on the ESO Messenger No. 180

Abstract

METIS is one of the first three instruments for the ELT, Europe's next-generation ground-based telescope. It will offer imaging, coronagraphy and spectroscopy in the L, M and N bands for general-purpose science in astrophysics. Among its main science drivers are circumstellar disks and extrasolar planets observations, which requires demanding high contrast imaging techniques. In that framework, METIS will be equipped with state-of-the-art phase mask coronagraphs: Apodizing Phase Plate (APP) and Annular Grooves Phase Mask (AGPM). Manufacturing the AGPM coronagraphs is a complex process that requires performance assessment with specific testing before implementation into the instrument. At Department of Astrophysics (CEA Saclay, France), responsible for the testing of the N-band AGPMs, a previously available test bench with a telescope simulator and cryogenic facility has been upgraded to comply with the AGPM tests requirements. This paper presents these requirements and describes the test bench design adopted. Then, based on preliminary results, we discuss the original solutions that permitted to reach our goals.
