distances:
detector to O-box wall (CD013): 10.9 mm
detector to O-box wall (proposed for CD014) : 7.7 mm
O-box wall to lens front of wheel: 14.4 mm
focal length of 1" KRS5 lens: 38 mm (measured at optical)
0.63um focal length of 1.5" KRS5 lens: 38 mm
0.63um focal length of 1.5" ZnSe lens: 38 mm
To calculate how deep to place the lenses in the lens barrels we calculated d_i from the lens equation:
d_i= (1/f - 1/d_o), where we used 1000mm for the value of d_o.
For the 38mm focal lengths, this was d_i=39.5 mm
n(0.63um) =2.57
n(11um)=2.37
f_mir= 38mm * (2.37/2.57) = 35 mm
d_i=36.27 mm
For the ZnSe lens, we chose the closest possible distance to the detector, ~ 25.3 mm in order to see the effect of an extreme case on the focus.
For the 1" KRS5, we chose the best 0.63 um focus distance for the current config (with the D-box standoffs the same as CD013), total distance is 10.9+14.4+7.9mm = 39.5 mm
Before the next cool down (CD014) we will move the lens 3.3 mm away from the detector, to compensate for the 1/8" inward change of position of the detector.

Could you please put a ZnSe 38mm blocker into the second open slot - mjr
Just to check that we're on the same page: is this the ZnSe 38" window from International Crystal Labs?
(now in the belljar inside a cylindrical container).
Yes, the blocker I'm referring to is a ZnSe 38 mm (1.5") window from Int'l Crystal Labs. I believe we have two ZnSe flavored (if my components list is correct).
