Abstract

COM DEV Ltd. is building a tandem tunable Fabry-Perot etalon to be mounted inside the Flamingos-2 imaging spectrograph on the Gemini South Telescope. The Flamingos-2 Tandem Tunable Filter has a target spectral resolution of R~800 and a clear aperture of 60 mm, and will be fed by the telescope's Multi-Conjugate Adaptive Optics system. The system is designed to undertake ultra-deep searches for "First-Light" sources at redshifts of z = 7-10 using foreground gravitational lensing. This paper describes preliminary characterization and expected performance F2T2.
