MICADO Filtercoatings

MICADO at the Extremely Large Telescope MICADO - or the Multi-Adaptive Optics Imaging CamerA for Deep Observations - is one of the first- light instruments for the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT). It is an imager and spectrograph with a wavelength coverage in the near-infrared (0.8–2.4 µm). Coating specifications apply for a larger wavelength range - driven by detector sensitivity. MICADO will equip the ELT with a first light capability for diffraction limited imaging at near-infrared wavelengths. The design of MICADO was driven by a desire for high sensitivity and resolution - astrometric accuracy - and wide wavelength coverage for spectroscopy.
