... HST . ... Data . ... HST Overview . Overview . ... COS has a simple optical design that minimizes the number of reflections required to disperse and detect ultraviolet light in its two optical channels. ... Light enters COS through a 2.5 arcsec diameter circular aperture and encounters an optical element that enables far-ultraviolet (FUV; 1150 << 2050 е) or near-ultraviolet (NUV; 1700 << 3200 е) observations. ... The COS FUV and NUV optical paths are illustrated schematically in Figures 1 and 2. ...

We have designed the laboratory model of static Fourier spectrometer for onboard usage for spectral study of atmosphere and ionosphere. The gain of model is to simulate onboard FS which will not have any moving elements (all its optical elements will be mounted at fused quartz monolithic construction), to compare experimental results with theoretical estimations and to measure MTF of CCD array. ... This fact connected with low frequency response of CCD array due to small format of it. ...
