Descripción
Chromospheric LAyer Spectro-Polarimeter (CLASP2) is our next sounding
rocket experiment after the success of Chromospheric Lyman-Alpha
Spectro-Polarimeter (CLASP1). CLASP2 is scheduled to launch in 2019, and
aims to achieve high precision measurements (< 0.1 %) of the linear
and circular polarizations in the Mg ii h and k lines near the 280 nm,
whose line cores originate in the upper solar chromosphere. The CLASP2
spectro-polarimeter follows very successful design concept of the CLASP1
instrument with the minimal modification. A new grating was fabricated
with the same radius of curvature as the CLASP1 grating, but with a
different ruling density. This allows us to essentially reuse the CLASP1
mechanical structures and layout of the optics. However, because the
observing wavelength of CLASP2 is twice longer than that of CLASP1, a
magnifier optical system was newly added in front of the cameras to
double the focal length of CLASP2 and to maintain the same wavelength
resolution as CLASP1 (0.01 nm). Meanwhile, a careful optical alignment
of the spectro-polarimeter is required to reach the 0.01 nm wavelength
resolution. Therefore, we established an efficient alignment procedure
for the CLASP2 spectro-polarimeter based on an experience of CLASP1.
Here, we explain in detail the methods for achieving the optical
alignment of the CLASP2 spectro-polarimeter and discuss our results by
comparing with the performance requirements.
