Simons Obervatory Small Aperture Telescope (sosat) Optical Simulation
Optical simulation of the Simons Observatory Small Aperture Telescope.
Author: Grace Chesmore
Installation
git clone git@github.com:McMahonCosmologyGroup/sosat_optics.gitcd sosat_opticspip3 install .
Usage
Two notebooks are provided to demonstrate the use of the optical simulation.
Near Field
This notebook demonstrates the use of the optical simulation to create the near-fields in front of the SAT window.
Near Field Requirements
An additional notebook is provided to calculate the predicted near-field beam sizes across the mid-frequency band of the SAT. This can easily be adapted to change the source wavelength, source height from the window, and receiver position, though here we keep the receiver position at boresight in the focal plane.
Far Field
This notebook demonstrates the use of the optical simulation to propagate the near field simulated beam into the far field of the telescope. With the simulated near-fields $b(x,y)$ above the SAT window, the far-field $B(\thetax,\thetay)$ is calculated using the relation:
$$ B(\thetax,\thetay) = \int{aperture} b(x,y)e^{i2\pi(x\thetax + y\theta_y)} dx dy$$
where $\thetax$ and $\thetay$ are the polar coordinates of the far-field, $x$ and $y$ are the coordinates of the near-field, and $b(x,y)$ is the measured near-field. Here, we are integrating over the area of aperture, which is the Stop of the SAT.
It is important to note that in practice, one can only obtain the far-field beams from a near-field measurement if the near-field data includes phase information.
