On the Design of Lens Array Architectures for the TIFUUN Imaging Spectrometer

In the framework of this MSc thesis, the analysis and design guidelines for part of the quasi-optical system of a proposed astronomical instrument, called TIFUUN, are presented. The TIFUUN instrument is an imaging spectrometer, planned to be placed in the ASTE telescope to perform ground-based astronomical observations in the mm-submm wavelength...

A GO/FO Tool for Analyzing Quasi-optical Systems in Reception

In this work, a MATLAB based graphical user interface (GUI) tool is built to analyze Quasi-optical (QO) systems in reception with the Fourier Optics (FO) and Geometrical Optics (GO) methods. Five canonical QO components are discussed, namely parabolic reflectors, elliptical lenses, hemispherical lenses, hyperbolic lenses, and elliptical mirrors....
