10 Automatic Alignment Approach 1. Align backwards from detector to telescope. 2. Threading optical axis from instrument internal combiner out through beam train to optical telescope. Use camera at back end of system. Use LEDs mounted on swing arm and positioned in front of mirror as alignment targets. Illuminate LEDs, and align prior mirror in beam train. Repeat from inside instrument up to telescope to thread beam along optical axis. Front view: Mirror surface and LED target in front. 20 Nov Keck Interferometer Autoaligner 10

20 Summary KI is taking shared risk science data (since June). Automatically aligning parts of interferometer. Angle Tracker (KAT). CT Metrology. Fringe Tracker (FATCAT). Beam Train Mirrors. Refinement of Frame Grabbing Technology and Centroiding for better beam train auto-alignment is needed (presently ~ 1.5 pixels, requirement 0.1 pixels). A top level sequencer to orchestrate all alignment is next major development effort.
