Transmission and contrast (3.2) Contrast was measured with a 611.9 nm collimated laser beam by comparing the maximum and minimum transmission levels as an external polarizer was rotated. Figure 1 shows the measured contrast over the instrument aperture. The average contrast is approximately 98%, compared to the specified minimum value of 95%. The laser has a Gaussian intensity profile which degrades the signal to noise ratio at the edge of the Michelson aperture.

Instrument transmission is calculated from two separate measurements: the measured transmission of the input/output polarizer and the measured reflectivity of the silver end mirrors. An allowance has also been made for misalignment of the wave plates and polarizer, based on their predicted alignment accuracy. The following table shows both the transmission and contrast data.

PVA Polarizer Uniformity The input/output polarizer uniformity was measured on a 1.5 mm pitch. The data here were measured with the polarizer uncoated. The minimum open transmission is 83%. When allowance is made for Fresnel losses, the minimum transmission is 90%. The average transmission is 92% and the maximum transmission is 93%. The maximum transmission of the closed polarizer is approximately 0.2%.

Figure 7: Thin film polarizer Tp spatial uniformity

Data shown below were taken with phase averaging over a 0.3 mm x 0.3 mm pixel. The measured λ0 variation is ±0.0028 nm peak-valley compared to the specification of ±0.0015 nm. Standard deviation (single sided) for the λ0 variation is 0.0012 nm. Approximately 50% of the total phase error is due to wedge in the assembly. Hand written numbers for wedge and power show the contributions of these particular errors to the measured error. This instrument is sensitive to temperature gradients and fluctuations. Temperature changes in the test room have a strong influence on the performance of the instrument, and the total phase uniformity should be rechecked once the Michelson is mounted in a temperature controlled oven. Prior to silvering the total phase variation was approximately ±0.0017 nm. The phase variation of the other three Michelsons was not significantly affected by the silvering process, and as a consequence, the change in phase variation after silvering is thought to be due to the change in ambient test conditions. It is not known whether the before or after silvering environment is closer to ideal. All previous phase testing was performed with the clean bench in the test room. The large fan on the clean bench had several possible effects on the test room. First it increased the room temperature by 1-2° C. This change should not be significant. The second effect of the clean bench is to

LQT 30.11-3, Rev A

Page 13 of 34

mix the air in the room more thoroughly than with the normal building ventilation. Finally, the clean bench raises the temperature of the air, and directs this stream of warm air toward the Michelson test set up.

Angular variations over the aperture (3.6) The change in λ0 with incident angle was measured at the center of the interferometer field. The variation in phase corresponds to a λ0 variation of ±0.0010 nm, compared to the specification of ±0.0015 nm. The chart below shows the phase vs. angle data measured over the central 20 mm of the instrument. The tangential and sagittal phase models are based on a solid arm excess length of 16 µm, and coating phase calculated by Iridian based on the actual beam splitter coating run.

Figure 14: Phase contribution from polarizing beam splitter coating.

The beam splitter phase is calculated from monitored thin film deposition. Net phase = φRs1+φTp2-(φTp1+φRs2). Although the coating is designed to be symmetric from front to back, during the deposition process small corrections were made to optimize the coating performance resulting in slight asymmetry of the deposited coating.

Temperature dependence (3.7) The temperature dependence of the Michelson was not measured. Based on measurements made on the engineering test unit, the temperature dependence is predicted to be dλ0/dT = 0.84 pm/°C. This change is less than the maximum permissible drift of 1 pm/°C.

The nominal aperture of the coatings on the input/output wave plate and polarizer is 42 mm, and the nominal aperture of the coatings on the cube and vacuum arm wave plate is 34 mm to allow clearance for the vacuum arm spacer.

Note that the wave plate test set up had a small amount of systematic birefringence which was compensated by averaging the results of two measurements with the wave plate rotated 90° between measurements. The thickness plots that follow show the uniformity, but have not been corrected for this systematic error. The table above shows the corrected measurements. The maximum errors are the greatest deviations from the nominal three quarter wave retardation at 617.3nm on both the high side and the low side.

Material Certificates, Process Certifications All of the glass used in the HMI Michelson is from the same melt of Ohara BSL7Y glass—material cerfificates attached. The wave plate sandwiches and solid arms were made from the 50 mm thick material, while the beam splitters were made from 35 mm thick material. The refractive index deltas are multiplied by 105 on the melt data sheets.

The crystal quartz used in this instrument was supplied by Sawyer Research. The material code is SP00356-000. The calcium fluoride spacers were fabricated from material supplied by Corning. The material was cut with the <111> crystal axis parallel to the optic axis of the instrument. The material code for the calcium fluoride is 702416. The PVA polarizer was assembled from BSL7Y blanks provided by LightMachinery, and PVA polarizer film provided by Lockheed Martin. Assembly of the polarizer sandwiches was performed by Lockheed Martin. AR coatings were applied to our specification CT-1835. Silver coatings were applied to our specification CT-1852.
