1 MUSKY: Multispectral UV Sky camera Valentina Caricato, Andrea Egidi, Marco Pisani and Massimo Zucco, INRIM

2 Outline Purpose of the instrument Required specs Hyperspectral or multispectral? Optical design Realization and tests

3 Purpose of the instrument Purpose of the device is to create a complete spectro-gonoiometric map of the irradiance of the sky in the UV The map will be used to correct cosine error typical of commercial UV spectroradiomters The target could be acheived with a scanning spectroradiometer, but an imaging technique is preferrable because is much faster

4 Specifications Goal Specs Field of view > ± 80 Spatial resolution 1 Spectral range nm Spectral resolution 5 nm Good dynamic range > 10 4 The instrument must be compact and transportable to be easily calibrated and operated in the field

5 Hyperspectral or Multispectral? A hyperspectral imaging system (HI) is a combination of imaging device (a digital camera) and a spectrophotometer. The obtained data set, known as hyperspectral cube, is a 3D matrix formed by a 2D image combined with a third dimension that is the spectral composition of each pixel of the image.

6 The INRIM imaging spectrometer: a F-P resonator used as a two beams interferometer The intensity modulated light signal is captured in a video during the F-P cavity length scanning. The cavity length starts fro zero i.e. mirrors in contact The spectral composition is calculated by means of a Fourier Transform based algorithm from the interferogram. M. Pisani and M. Zucco, Optics Express, 17 (10), pp , (2009)

7 Hyperspectral device main elements F-P interferometer Digital camera for video acquisition Photogrphic objective to focus the image on the camera sensor

8 Spectral analysis in the visible range

9 Spectroscopy in the IR region: Long distance atmospheric absorption Direct sunlight Clouds

10 Hyperspectral in the UV Difficulties encountered in finding the right substrates for the F-P mirrors and mostly the right coating After several attempts we proceeded with our original device made from metal coated glass UVNet Workshop, Davos 16 July 2014

15 Hyperspectral in the UV Difficulties encountered in finding the right substrates for the F-P mirrors and mostly the right coating After several attempts we proceeded with our original device Preliminary results are good but limited to 320 nm because of the glass substrate UVNet Workshop, Davos 16 July 2014

16 Multispectral solution: safer option 11 band-pass filters covering the nm range UVNet Workshop, Davos 16 July 2014

17 Design of the optical system A fisheye objective with good efficiency in the nm range is required A fisheye objective in the UV is not commercially available must be designed from scratch A refractive design although possible would be extremely complex

18 Catadioptric solution A wide angle image can be easily obtained by looking «through» a convex mirror. A catadioptric system combines a traditional refractive system with a mirror Catadioptric scheme from an early 20 th century patent

19 Realization of the mirror The miror has been realized starting from a glass lens vacuum coated with aluminium protected by a thin layer of SiO 2 The reflectivity exceeds 80% in the range of interest

20 The objective is made by UKA optics from quartz lenses coated MgF 2. Is a 25 mm f= 2.8 lens with a transmittivity of 85% from 200 to 300 nm The objective

21 CCD/camera requiriments sufficient absolute quantum efficiency down to 300 nm; high frame rate in order to acquire a sufficient number of frames in a small time (in case of hyperspectral imaging). small transversal size, because we have to minimize the shadow projected by the camera itself on the spherical mirror in order to scan the maximum portion of the sky above the system;

22 Selected: Kodak KAI 4022 CCD Scientific CCD with sufficent responsivity in the UV 300nm), good dynamic range (16 bit) and speed, excellent spatial resolution (4 Mpixel)

23 Ascent 4000 camera Kodak sensor (version without microlenses) is integrated in the Ascent 4000 camera with dual 16 bit ADCs. Compact and cooled

24 Building a compact filter wheel

25 Integration of the filter wheel Objective Step Motor Filter wheel with box UVNet Workshop, Davos 16 July 2014

26 Assembled system Aluminium frame Honeycomb plate UVNet Workshop, Davos 16 July 2014

27 Resolution and sensitivity test Camera set: 4x4 binning = 512x512 pixel image Objective aperture f=8

28 Resolution at zenith Angular resolution << 1 Angular sensitivity 4.4 pixel/deg 1

29 Resolution close to the horizon 1 1 Angular resolution < 1 Azimuth sensitivity 4.4 pixel/deg Zenith sensitivity 2.5 pixel/deg

30 Angle of view The angle of view has been evaluated theoretically and verified experimentally. Sky coverage exceeds ± 80 as required. Edge of the mirror 6.5 above the horizon

31 Resolution and mapping With 4x4 binning the resolution exceeds 2pix/deg (worst case), the image dimension is 512x512x16bit A complete mapping of the angular coordinate of each pixel must be obtained experimentally
