Description
The goal of this paper is to present the Transmission Matrix of the SPI Mask STM/QM Model. The experimental set-up used to determine INTEGRAL Spectrometer (SPI) Mask Transmission Matrix is hereafter described: collimation system, radioactive sources, energy ranges covered and pitch angles covering the expected SPI Field of View. The QM results fulfil transparency/opacity requirements. Same materials and manufacturing procedures have been used in both STM/QM and FM Masks, consequently we do not expect significant changes on the FM Transmission Matrix. Preliminary results of the Flight Model support this statement.

    Co-phasing the distributed aperture of a Fizeau interferometer via photonic lanterns and machine learning
    The advantage of large optical telescopes from the ground for high-contrast direct imaging relies on achieving exquisite control of the incident optical wavefront. Since the exoplanet problem almost always has a bright star within a small field of view there are usually ample photons for measuring the atmospheric and telescopedistorted wavefront. A

    Conceptual optical design of the infrared integral field spectropolarimeter for the European Solar Telescope
    The European Solar Telescope (EST), with its primary mirror of 4.2 diameter, will be the largest solar telescope available in Europe. EST will offer Integral Field Spectropolarimetry (IFS) by incorporating the EST spectropolariMeter Based on slicEr-mirrors for the near-infraRed (EMBER). This instrument is a high-resolution spectropolarimeter that
