Simulation and Measurement of Stray Light in the CLASP

We are planning an international rocket experiment Chromospheric Lyman-Alpha Spectro-Polarimeter (CLASP) is (2015 planned) that Lyman Alpha line polarization spectroscopic observations from the sun. The purpose of this experiment, detected with high accuracy of the linear polarization of the Ly􀉲 lines to 0.1% by using a Hanle effect is to measure the magnetic field of the chromosphere-transition layer directly. For total flux of the sun visible light overwhelmingly larger and about 200 000 times the Ly􀉲 line wavelength region, also hinder to 0.1% of the polarization photometric accuracy achieved in the stray light of slight visible light. Therefore we were first carried out using the illumination design analysis software called stray light simulation CLASP Light Tools. Feature of this simulation, using optical design file (ZEMAX format) and structural design file (STEP format), to reproduce realistic CLASP as possible to calculate machine is that it was stray study. And, at the stage in the actual equipment that made the provisional set of CLASP, actually put sunlight into CLASP using coelostat of National Astronomical Observatory of Japan, was subjected to measurement of stray light (San test). Pattern was not observed in the simulation is observed in the stray light measurement results need arise that measures. However, thanks to the stray light measurement and simulation was performed by adding, it was found this pattern is due to the diffracted light at the slit. Currently, the simulation results is where you have taken steps to reference. In this presentation, we report the stray light simulation and stray light measurement results that we have implemented
