Published purpose
This applied research project goal is to design and build a complex optomechanical system assembly to be used in the Gemini Planet Imager facility calibration subsystem instrument. The main challenge is to minimize the relative displacement between two optical components during observation. The relative movement is in the order of 0.0005° while in operation. This error is created by parasitical vibrations and thermal distortion.
