Linear diattenuation of a front-side illuminated CCD
An experiment was performed on a front-side illuminated CCD to measure its linear diattenuation at 550 nm and 650 nm as a function of angle of incidence. The linear diattenuation of the CCD varies from 0 to 12 percent for 550 nm light from 0 to 40 deg and is less for the longer wavelength.

Shuttle imaging spectrometer optics
This paper discusses the optical design and performance of the Shuttle Imaging Spectrometer (SISEX) optical system, which is being planned for the next generation of Earth remote sensing instruments. This optical system represents a new approach to remote sensing in which wide-field optics, dispersing elements, and area detector arrays are used in place of mechanical scanners, filters, and discrete detector elements or linear arrays. While the SISEX optical system is designed specifically for flight on Shuttle, the same optical approach is being used in the design of other remote sensing instruments, such as the High Resolution Imaging Spectrometer, which is expected to fly on the Earth Observing System.

Point spread function for a segmented mirror system
A procedure was developed to generate point spread functions for a segmented mirror system for a deployable reflector for submillimeter astronomy. These point spread functions were generated using ACCOS V and special purpose software. This procedure allows tilt and piston sensitivities to be evaluated. Point spread functions with tilt and piston errors are discussed.
