Outline of Final Research Achievements

A near-infrared wavelength-scanning filter has been developed to elucidate the physical conditions of large-scale starforming regions in the Galaxy and extra-galaxies. 1. Design and fabrication of a multilayer device (Fabry-Perot etalon) to realize flat reflectivity across the wide near-infrared wavelength range at low temperatures; 2. Selection and acquisition of piezo actuators to scan fine distances while maintaining the parallelism of the two etalons; 3. Selection and acquisition of capacitance sensors for measuring the gap between 2 etalons and for feedback of optical element spacing adjustment, 4. Fabrication of a prototype model combining these components, 5. and a control system was also designed to perform wavelength scanning while maintaining the spacing and parallelism of the etalon by controlling the ranging and driving in a closed loop.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

大規模星形成領域の物理状態を銀外系内の星団レベルから近傍・遠方銀河までの広い空間ダイナミックレンジを、近赤外線波長全域に渡って連続的に高空間分解能の観測を行い、星形成活動の物理過程を調査、大質量星や銀河の進化を解明するための本研究では、様々な天文学の研究分野から強い要請がありながら、世界的に見てもこれまで実用例がない赤外線観測用波長走査型フィルターを開発、その実用可能性の一歩を踏み出したと言える。さらに、チューナブルフィルターの基礎技術開発およびその実証、パイロット的なサイエンスプロジェクトの推進としての位置付けにおいても大きな意義があり、我が国のモノ作りと天文学の発展に欠かせない。
