摘要

We have developed a balloon-borne far-infrared interferometer, the Far-infrared Interferometric Telescope Experiment (FITE). The final goal of spatial resolution was one arcsec at 100 mu m. As a first step, we aimed to achieve a spatial resolution of five arcsecs at 155 mu m with a 6-m baseline. FITE is a two-beam interferometer like Michelsons stellar interferometer. Positions and attitudes of all mirrors required to have their alignment checked and possibly adjusted before launch and were checked during observation. We had to satisfy three requirements: the coincidence of the phases of each beam (wavefront error), image quality of the two beams at the (common) focus, and no optical path difference between the two beams for celestial objects. In order to achieve the former two requirements, we developed an interferometer adjustment system that used a newly-developed interferometer measurement instrument. This instrument adopted a Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor to measure wavefront errors of the two off-axis parabolic mirrors, simultaneously. With this system, the adjustment of the FITE interferometer was carried out at the Alice Springs balloon base in Australia as the JAXA's Australia balloon experiment campaign of 2018. On-site adjustment was successful; wavefront errors of the two off-axis parabolic mirrors were 1.78 mu m and 4.99 mu m (peak-to-valley), and the Hartmann constant was 13 arcsecs. As for the optical path difference, we achieved the requirement by step-wise displacement of a folding plane mirror. Results satisfied the requirements for an interferometer designed for a wavelength of 155 mu m. Improvement of spatial resolution at far-infrared wavelengths is undoubtedly important for research on protoplanetary disks, circumstellar dust shells of late-type stars, and star-forming galaxies. The method we have developed is also useful for future space interferometers.
