Abstract

The GMT-Consortium Large Earth Finder (G-CLEF) is the very first light instrument of the Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT) and an optical-band echelle spectrograph. The Flexure Control Camera (FCC) is one of the major contributions of KASI's for the spectrograph project. FCC system includes the Fiber Mirror monitoring and the on- and off-slit mode auto-guidance algorithm. In this study, we present the modified design of the FCC optics and opto-mechanics after the G-CLEF Preliminary Design Review (PDR) held in Cambridge in April 2015.
