Application Highlight: Stray Light Analysis
- Optical System Type: Ground-Based Astronomical Observatory
- Customer Need: Identification and characterization of opto-mechanical system stray light.
- PE Solution: Developed a fully configurable opto-mechanical system model for raytrace analysis. Concluded that contributions from optical surfaces and the dome interior structures dominate the stray light background. Quantified the percent stray light contribution from each source.
