Basic assumptions and immediate conclusions
• Detector size: 4k x 4 k pixels, 5 µm pixel size• Field of view: 0.7° 2500 arcsec
• pixelscale = 0.6 arcsec• image scale = 120 arcsec/mm• focal length = 1720 mm

Diameter
• resolution according to sampling theorem: 1.2 arcsec = 5.8 µrad– D = 1.22 λ / 5.8E-6– minimum Diameter w.r.t resolution = 0.1 m

Diameter should exceed 0,5 m f/# < f/3.5

Mounting (common instrument platform)
• May be we need different instruments for different SNR requirements (Polarimetry vs. imaging)
• Several instruments on one platform may be a solution

Image motion: Effect on image subtraction
=-
Image stabilization needed, dual beam polarimetry desirable
Example: shift by 0.1 pixel 10-2 noise

Image stabilization?
• Main cause probably instrumental:– spatial dimensions: 1m 1 arcsec = 5 µm at the mirror
edge• Limb sensor vs. Correlation tracker• Tiptilt mirror
– relay optics?– Solar Orbiter (PHI) concept?

Optical Design Options
• Design driving parameters:– Detector– SNR @ typical exposure time

Refractor
• Good performance, limited diameter
Example: Chrotel (KIS)

Summary
• Basic requirement: SNR• Image stabilization – if necessary – has large impact on
the design• Diameter not determined by resolution arguments
telescope doesn‘t need to be diffraction limited• Evacuation should be considered (catadioptric system?)• Multiple telescope platform might be useful• Ritchey-Chretien promising. But false light counter
measures necessary
