The instrumentation of the Prime Focus Spectrograph (PFS), a next generation facility instrument on the Subaru telescope, is now in the final phase of its commissioning process and its general, open-use operations for sciences will provisionally start in 2025. The instrument enables simultaneous spectroscopy with 2386 individual fibers distributed over a very wide (∼1.3 degrees in diameter) field of view on the Subaru’s prime focus. The spectra cover a wide range of wavelengths from 380nm to 1260nm in one exposure in the Low-Resolution (LR) mode (while the visible red channel has the Medium-Resolution (MR) mode as well that covers 710−885nm). The system integration activities at the observatory on Maunakea in Hawaii have been continuing since the arrival of the Metrology Camera System in 2018. On-sky engineering tests and observations have also been carried out continually since September 2021 and, despite various difficulties in interlacing commissioning processes with development activities on the schedule and addressing some major issues on hardware and software, the team successfully observed many targeted stars as intended over the entire field of view (Engineering First Light) in September 2022. Then in parallel to the arrival, integration and commissioning of more hardware components, validations and optimizations of the performance and operation of the instrument are ongoing. The accuracy of the fiber positioning process and the speed of the fiber reconfiguration process have been recently confirmed to be ∼ 20−30μm for 95% of allocated fibers, and ∼130 seconds, respectively. While precise quantitative analyses are still in progress, the measured throughput has been confirmed to be consistent with the model where the information from various sub-components and sub-assemblies is integrated. Long integration of relatively faint objects are being taken to validate an expected increase of signal-to-noise ratio as more exposures are taken and co-added without any serious systematic errors from, e.g., sky subtraction process. The PFS science operation will be carried out in a queue mode by default and various developments, implementations and validations have been underway accordingly in parallel to the instrument commissioning activities. Meetings and sessions are arranged continually with the communities of potential PFS users on multiple scales, and discussions are iterated for mutual understanding and possible optimization of the rules and procedures over a wide range of processes such as proposal submission, observation planning, data acquisition and data delivery. The end-to-end processes of queue observations including successive exposures with updated plans based on assessed qualities of the data from past observations are being tested during engineering observations, and further optimizations are being undertaken. In this contribution, a top-level summary of these achievements and ongoing progresses and future perspectives will be provided.

The Spectrograph System (SpS) of Subaru Prime Focus Spectrograph is fed by 2400 fibers and consists of four identical spectrograph modules with 4 arms and 600 fibers each. This paper outlines the overall integration process for the spectrograph module series as completed at the Subaru Telescope. Many partners from the Subaru PFS Collaboration and industry contributed to this large multi-object spectrograph system. The initial integration of the so-called "one-channel prototype" began in 2015. The first spectrograph module was delivered to Subaru in 2019, and the fourth module was delivered in late 2023, with delays due to both technical difficulties and scheduling challenges, including the impact of COVID-19 on the large PFS spectrograph system collaboration. The integration and validation of each spectrograph module were performed at the Laboratoire d’Astrophysique de Marseille (LAM) prior to delivery and full integration at the Subaru Telescope. First, we briefly review the opto-mechanical design and development strategy for the SpS. We present the integration and testing procedures developed for this mini-series of four spectrograph modules. Several specific AIT tools were innovative and key to the process, and are worth reporting, including the software tools required for functional tests, housekeeping, and environment monitoring during integration, analysis of dimensional metrology, test and verification of optical alignment, and overall performance assessment. Specific processes were also developed for analyzing and resolving anomalies and issues encountered. We detail the strategies developed to resolve technical issues: thermal and vacuum performance; dimensional and optical metrology processes to correct for focus/tilt anomalies observed at the focal plane; handling, alignment, and optical testing of large optics such as the 340x340x20mm Volume Phase Holographic Grating (VPHG). We briefly report on a grating orientation issue discovered before the delivery of the last module, which is reported elsewhere. We quickly report the integration logistics: managing the shipping process, custom, and deliveries of many parts and modules among partners since 2014, and the final delivery and installation at the Subaru Telescope at the summit of Mauna Kea in Hawai`i in 2019, 2022, and 2023. We then dedicate a full section to the optical and thermal performance for the largest 8m-class multi-object spectrograph: the spectral channels and camera alignment performance results and the detailed optical performance of the four spectrograph modules (extracted from internal extended performance reports).
