Abstract

MATISSE is a mid-infrared spectro-interferometer combining beams of up to four telescopes of the ESO VLTI providing phase closure and image reconstruction using interferometric spectra in the LM and N band. This paper presents the opto-mechanical design of the two cold benches containing several types of cryogenic mechanisms (shutter, Tip/Tilt) used for cryogenic alignment. Key aspects are detailed such as the highly integrated opto-mechanical approach of the design in order to guarantee component stability and accuracy specifications in the order of nanometers and arcseconds.
