8 Optics Collimator Lyot Stop Camera Common Path Filter Filter & Detector Detector Wollaston Prism Differential Path Filter Lenses were delivered Masks are being proceeded (~beginning of Mar.) Filters will be delivered in mid. Feb. Wollaston prisms are on the fly

9 Mechanics All the mechanisims are controled by Newport XPS controllers. Fundamental operation codes were finished. Cryogenic filter wheel tests were done using a test dewar in Subaru All the cryogenic mechanisms were tested in the HiCIAO cryostat

10 Detector All ASIC functions relevant for HiCIAO have been tested as a part of the characterization effort for the JWST NIRCam instrument. A few observations have been already done using the ASIC and the HAWAII-2RG with ULBCAM on the UH88 telescope. ULBCAM on the UH88 Image taken with HAWAII- 2RG and ASIC

11 Software OBCP (Linux) XPS controllers Windows Framework is established Implementation of the detector software, the motion control software Interface with SOS

12 AO and Nasmyth Interface HiCIAO Fore Optics will be attached to the AO bench via the interface plate for its precise location and to avoid vibration. AO bench flexture tests were done using dummy weights Specifications of the interface plate have been discussed by AO, IRCS, and HiCIAO groups. will be finalized soon. HiCIAO uses same fixed points on the Nasmyth floor as IRCS is using Interface plate with IRCS f-conversion optics and HiCIAO Fore Optics AO bench flexture test Instrument support frame
