Abstract

MIMIZUKU (Mid-infrared Multi-field Imager for gaZing at the UnKnown Universe) is a near- to mid-infrared camera for the 6.5-m TAO (The university of Tokyo Atacama Observatory) telescope. To realize both the compactness of the instrument and the wide field of view of 2 arcmin, MIMIZUKU has unique reflective optics, which is composed of off-axis aspherical mirrors made of machined aluminum. These mirrors should be placed and aligned very precisely with the accuracy of < 0.01 mm and < 0.01 degrees. We performed the experiments to test whether MIMIZUKU optics works as designed at cryogenic temperature. We present the evaluation of imaging performance and the distortion on the focal plane of MIMIZUKU.
