1 NASA GSFC s CHARMS Facility Doug Leviton / NASA GSFC / Optics Branch with Manuel Quijada and Ross Henry what is CHARMS? limits on accuracy in minimum deviation refractometry design approach / measurement technique for highest accuracy technologies we rely on data products and examples materials we ve measured

2 What is CHARMS? Cryogenic High Accuracy Refraction Measuring System developed in ~003 to support design of JWST s NIRCam all refractive optical design with two triplet lenses of ZnSe, LiF, BaF differential, absolute, minimum deviation refractometer dense sampling in both wavelength and temperature current wavelength coverage: 400 nm (violet) to 5.6 microns in mid-ir aiming to extend range to 10 nm in FUV, and 0 microns in mid-ir temperature coverage 15 K to 330+ K (60 C) rated accuracy +/ to +/ depending on material and temperature

3 Measuring angles in refractometry apex: measure angle of prism face A measure angle of prism face B measure direction of undeviated beam measure direction of deviated beam for each wavelength n abs (,T) = sin (/ + /) / sin (/) (T) A B (,T)

4 Limits on accuracy in minimum deviation refractometry n(α, δ(λ, T)) explore dn/dα Δα Prism apex dn/dδ Δδ Deviation angle dn/dλ Δλ Spectral dispersion dn/dt ΔT Thermo-optic coefficient uncertainty should be listed as a function of both wavelength AND temperature

5 Textbook uncertainties Sources of uncertainty in measuring absolute index giving n = 1 x 10-6 for example, in air with a Ge prism of 17 of index 4. at.5 m apex angle (arcseconds) ± half-deviation angle (arcseconds) ± 0.04 level (arcminutes) + 9 sample temperature (C) ± 0. wrt T standard (15 C) air temperature (C) ± 0.6 wrt T standard (15 C) atmos. pressure (mm Hg) ± 1.9 wrt P standard (760 mm) humidity (H 0 mm Hg) ± 3 wrt dry air (0 mm) wavelength (nm) ± 0.03 Aspects with black arrows need not be considered for measurements in vacuum, i.e. absolute measurements

6 Example for absolute accuracy in IR Demonstrated capabilities of CHARMS in vacuum at any temperature and associated uncertainties in n x 10 6 for Ge prism of apex 17 and index 4. at.5 m wavelength capability n x 10 6 apex angle (arcseconds) ± half-deviation angle (arcseconds) ± level (arcminutes) +9 1 sample temperature (C) ± wavelength (nm) ± RSS uncertainties n abs < 5 x 10-5 This uncertainty may be different and should be so stated for each wavelength, temperature for a given prism specimen
