We present details of the recent trade study on design changes to the Wide Field optical Spectrometer (WFOS) for the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT)[1]. WFOS is planned as a first light instrument and will provide highly efficient imaging and multi-slit spectroscopy over the wavelength range 0.31 to 1 mu m across a field of view of 8.3 by 3 arcminutes. The existing baseline prior to the trade study used a laser cut metal slit mask at the focal plane to enable observation of similar to 50 to 80 objects simultaneously. The masks would be cut in advance of observing and installed in a cassette, allowing a mechanism to select the mask and move it into place at the focal plane. Each multi-object observation requires a dedicated mask, with a more general single long slit mask remaining in the cassette permanently. The configurable slit unit (CSU) is an alternative approach, and a design that has previously been used in MOSFIRE and FORS. A CSU uses multiple knife edges mounted on computer-controlled bars to create and position slits at the focal plane. In the case of WFOS the CSU will be capable of creating 96 separate slits with the ability to reconfigure them on the fly to adapt to seeing conditions or to respond to targets of opportunity. We detail here the decision criteria, design, and science case analysis used by the WFOS team to decide to change the baseline design of WFOS to incorporate a CSU.

Precise alignment in Korsch telescopes is crucial due to the complex design and intricate aspheric primary mirror. Conventional alignment methods using wavefront sensors often encounter difficulties with obstructions from secondary components, leading to potential inaccuracies and suboptimal solutions. This study introduces a novel alignment methodology utilizing laser radar technology and an integrated metrology system to capture the three-dimensional surface profile of the aspheric primary mirror and other components. The methodology includes strategic placement of multiple laser radars and additional laser trackers and autocollimators for comprehensive measurement and continuous monitoring. This approach significantly reduces alignment errors, enhances precision, and accelerates the alignment process. The results show that deviations of main mirrors under varying gravity conditions closely match finite element analysis, validating the robustness of the alignment in zero-gravity environments. The ability to detect and compensate for gravitational effects ensures optimal performance, highlighting the effectiveness of the proposed methodology. This research presents a significant advancement in opticalengineering, providing a reliable and efficient alignment technique for complex opticalsystems.
