Read Abstract +

Historically, ultraviolet (UV) gratings used in astronomical spectrographs have been made using two different techniques. Mechanically-ruled gratings have been produced for more than an hundred years. A diamond tool is used to create parallel grooves onto a fine metallic coating layer that has been previously deposited on a polished substrate. The edge-on profile of these grooves is a sawtooth tilted at a specific angle called the "blaze" angle. The blaze angle is the deciding factor that will allow for maximum efficiency at a specific wavelength called the "blaze" wavelength. Holographic gratings are produced using interference lithography. A layer of photoresist deposited on a substrate is exposed to fringes usually formed by exposure to two coherent laser beams. After development, the resulting pattern is sinusoidal by nature. Blazing one side of the sinusoidal profile of holographic gratings is possible through ion etching, but is only commonly used for a limited subset of grating parameters. Both types of gratings have different advantages: - Ruled gratings have a sharp, blazed profile that ensures good efficiency. However, they suffer from groove spacing inconsistencies that lead to stray light and ghosting. - Holographic gratings do not suffer from groove spacing errors which minimizes stray light. However, their sinusoidal profile (if not ion etched) leads to efficiency losses. At Penn State University, we are studying new processes that allow to fabricate blazed, high efficiency and high spectral resolution UV gratings for astronomical purposes. These processes are derived from the ones we used in creating X-ray gratings and consist of: - writing an electron-beam pattern consisting of parallel grooves on a layer of positive resist that has been deposited on a Si substrate. - dry etching this profile into a hard mask made of silicon nitride. - wet etching with KOH that will create the sawtooth profile at a specific blaze angle thanks to the properties of the different crystallographic planes of silicon. Gratings fabricated using these techniques show an excellent behavior all around, combining the best qualities from both ruled and holographic gratings. Indeed, they display a sharp sawtooth profile, they do not suffer from periodicity errors, and grating facets show low roughness. Recent testing show efficiencies that are close to the maximum, theoretical limit. Combined with the possibility to create custom blaze angles through the use of custom cut Si wafers, this opens the way to new applications in the field of astronomical UV spectroscopy.

The launch of ESA EUCLID mission is foreseen in 36020. The goal of the mission is to understand the nature of the dark energy and to map the geometry of the dark matter. The EUCLID telescope will be equipped with two instruments working in the visible range (VIS) and in the IR range (NISP) to investigate the distance-redshift relationship and the evolution of cosmic structures. The NISP (Near Infrared Spectro-Photometer) will operate in the near-IR spectral range (0.9-2μm) with two observing modes: the photometric mode for the acquisition of images with broadband filters, and the spectroscopic mode for the acquisition of slitless dispersed images on the detectors. NISP is then using four low resolution grisms to acquire spectroscopic image in different orientations to better distinguish the spectra observed and to cover two spectral ranges: 1250-1850nm range, and 920-1300nm range. Since 2010, Laboratoire d’Astrophysique de Marseille is working on the development and the test of the NISP grisms, that are complex optical components. The grism combines four main optical functions: a grism function done by the grating on the prism hypotenuse, a spectral filter done by a multilayer filter deposited on the first face of the prism, a focus function done by the curved filter face of the prism and a spectral wavefront correction done by the grating which grooves paths are nor parallel, neither straight. The NISP instrument is now entering in the integration phase of the proto flight model of the instrument. Therefore, the NISP grism flight models have been manufactured and delivered to the grism wheel assembly for integration by end of 2017. In this paper, we present the optical performance and characteristics of the four EUCLID NISP grisms flight models that have been developed and manufactured by four different industrial partners then integrated and tested by LAM. We focus on the performance obtained on the optical performance of the component; wavefront error of the components, the spectral transmission and groove profiles. The test results analysis show that the grisms flight models for NISP are well within specifications with an efficiency better than 70% on the spectral bandpass and a wavefront error on surfaces better than 30nm RMS. The results on the component show a good control of the manufacturing and integration process despite the difficulties at the beginning of the project to manufacture these components.

ESA EUCLID mission will be launched in 2020 to understand the nature of the dark energy responsible of the accelerated expansion of the Universe and to map the geometry of the dark matter. The map will investigate the distanceredshift relationship and the evolution of cosmic structures thanks to two instruments: the NISP and the VIS. The NISP (Near Infrared Spectro-Photometer) is operating in the near-IR spectral range (0.9-2μm) with two observing modes: the photometric mode for the acquisition of images with broad band filters, and the spectroscopic mode for the acquisition of slitless dispersed images on the detectors. The spectroscopic mode uses four low resolution grisms to cover two spectral ranges: three "red" grisms for 1250-1850nm range, with three different orientations, and one "blue" grism for 920- 1300nm range. The NISP grisms are complex optical components combining four main optical functions: a grism function (dispersion without beam deviation of the first diffracted order) done by the grating on the prism hypotenuse, a spectral filter done by a multilayer filter deposited on the first face of the prism to select the spectral bandpass, a focus function done by the curved filter face of the prism (curvature radius of 10m) and a spectral wavefront correction done by the grating which grooves paths are nor parallel, neither straight. The development of these components have been started since 10 years at the Laboratoire d’Astrophysique de Marseille (LAM) and was linked to the project phases: prototypes have been developed to demonstrate the feasibility, then engineering and qualification models to validate the optical and mechanical performance of the component, finally the flight models have been manufactured and tested and will be installed on NISP instrument. In this paper, we present the optical performance of the four EUCLID NISP grisms flight models characterized at LAM: wavefront error, spectral transmission and grating groove profiles. The test devices and the methods developed for the characterization of these specific optical components are described. The analysis of the test results have shown that the grisms flight models for NISP are within specifications with an efficiency better than 70% on the spectral bandpass and a wavefront error on surfaces better than 30nm RMS. The components have withstood vibration qualification level up to 11.6g RMS in random test and vacuum cryogenics test down to 130K with measurement of optical quality in transmission. The EUCLID grisms flight models have been delivered to NISP project in November 2017 after the test campaign done at LAM that has demonstrated the compliance to the specifications.
