Hi = Arlin,

 

I did not hear back about specs, but wanted to send you want I had done regarding = the 6 CCD mosaic, slightly revised from last time.

 

I am out at the SPIE conference all next week.

Statement of Work

 

We present the following budget as an estimate for a focal plane camera.  This is not a formal proposal, which must come only with = University of Arizona authorization.

 

We propose to purchase a liquid nitrogen dewar and controller = for a 6 CCD mosaic of 2kx2k 15 micron pixel CCDs mounted in edge buttable = packages to be used in TDI mode.  Each device will be readout using one = amplifier.  An 8 video channel controller will be purchased from Astronomical Research = Cameras, Inc.  Controller and focal plane wiring is = included.

 

A focal plane mount will be designed at ITL and the devices will = be mounted coplanar and installed in the dewar.  Analysis of the = alignment will be carried out in the lab with a goal of 30 microns peak-valley flatness = and row/column alignment.  Visible light alignment marks must be provided on each = device for final alignment.

 

Software will be written based on the existing AzCam package = which operates under a Windows server, with remote clients from other = platforms.

 

The costs of the CCDs and the dewar window are not included = here.
