Accomplishments of Week Ending 1/23/07

1) An ETU LiF lens was successfully mounted and mesaured at

room temperature where the applied streses will be highest. The

transmitted WFE was 14nm, well below the budget of 25nm.

 

2) Discussed issues in producing an FPE simulator, and a

high fidelity software simulator may be problematic for the

NIRCam Team to produce.

 

3) Manufacturing of PIL prototype lenses is proceeding with one

side of lenses polished and the second side in process.

 

4) Two more cable assemblies are in thermal cycle testing.
