Because the SPO plates are radial (and thus curved) while the CAT gratings need to be aligned to the dispersion axis, it is not possible to align them such that shadows from the SPO plates and the L2 structures of the CAT grating coincide in general. This also means that it is not possible to accidentally hit a configuration where all SPO shadows fall on active CAT area.
Goal¶
The goal of this notebook is to make a few plots to answer the following question:
Gratings and SPOs have macroscopic opaque structures (SPOs: plate thickness and ribs; Gratings: L2 supports). They are only a short distance from each other along the optical axis. Have you considered relative alignment of these obstructing/blocking structures (in the plane normal to the optical axis), and how much the effective area can be impacted by non-ideal relative alignment?

This figure shows SPO structures (plates and ribs, black) on top of CAT grating L2 hexagons (blue). The SPO plates are slightly curved because their shape is radially around the focal point. In contrast, the CAT gratings are all aligned to the dispersion direction. The image makes it clear that, even if the CAT grating L2 structure was designed to match the spacing of the SPO plates, the dead area caused by both structures cannot be aligned in a special way over the area of the telescope. Instead, both structures have a certain fraction of open area and the total open area is simple the product of the individual factors.
