QED Optics Awarded Contract by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy
2015年1月27日 - 8:00PM
QED Technologies (QED), pioneer and provider of Magnetorheological
Finishing (MRF®) polishing and Subaperture Stitching Interferometry
(SSI®) metrology platforms for the precision optics industry,
announces that the Association of Universities for Research in
Astronomy (AURA) has awarded QED Optics a contract to manufacture
precision optics for the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope (DKIST).
QED Optics will manufacture a significant portion of the
precision optics and assemblies that constitute the telescope's
Wavefront Correction System (WCS). The WCS compensates for
turbulence in the earth's atmosphere that causes image
distortion. Correction of the distortion is critical to
ensure sharp, precise telescopic images.
"The Wavefront Correction System is a key element of the
telescope, responsible for delivering a diffraction-limited light
beam to the DKIST instruments," said Erik Johansson, Project
Manager, Wavefront Correction System. "Its proper operation
and performance are fundamental to the DKIST meeting its basic
science objectives. AURA selected QED because they
demonstrated their ability to manage the entire manufacturing
process and to deliver on time and on budget."
"We are excited to be part of this important project," said Mike
DeMarco, Business Manager of QED Optics. "AURA is a great
partner and the demands of the project fit perfectly with QED
Optics' capabilities, from high precision finishing of optics to
turnkey manufacturing."
