Description
Integral field spectroscopy is a modern technique used in Astronomy to
obtain simultaneous spectral information of all points in a
bidimensional field of view. This communication presents the preliminary
design of a multi-slit image slicer to be coupled to the spectrographs
of the 4 meters aperture European Solar Telescope. This integral field
unit will provide the observation of an 80 arcsec2 field of
view, rearranged into 8 slits of 200 arcsec length by 0.05 arcsec width.
Different optical design alternatives with diffraction limited optical
quality, as well as the design of a prototype for the GREGOR solar
telescope, are presented.
