MODHIS

Multi-Objective Diffraction-limited High-Resolution Infrared Spectrograph (MODHIS)

MODHIS is a diffraction-limited high-resolution infrared facility for TMT-NFIRAOS. The notional concept features a very compact and stable spectrograph and cost-effective design built to fully exploit the existing NFIRAOS infrastructure and boost the scientific reach of TMT after first light. MODHIS is based on the latest diffraction-limited single-mode fiber injection, detector, multiplexing, and calibration (Laser Frequency Comb) technologies, and will provide unprecedented capabilities to the TMT community, potentially soon after the commissioning and science verification of NFIRAOS+IRIS, which it perfectly complements.
