E-ELT ANDES Calibration Unit

The ANDES spectrograph is the 2nd instrument generation installed on the future E-ELT.

We have developped a novel system based on the Light Distribution System where we combined 11 LiDiMo to realize a Light Guiding System destined to be used by the Calibration Unit of the ANDES spectrograph.

Space Optics Systems has supported the University of Bern in the specifications definition, architecture conception, interfaces control definition and in the optomechanical design.

A first prototype has been realized, assembled, aligned and validated by SOS.
