Design of a high-speed UV-transmitting camera for the Keck LRIS

Abstract

Preliminary optical designs have been developed for the blue channel of the Low Resolution Imaging Spectrograph (LRIS) for the Keck Ten Meter Telescope. This paper discusses the configuration- driving factors and performance of the designs, as well as coating and fabrication issues.
