Paper Abstract
The Prime Focus Spectrograph (PFS) is a new optical/near-infrared multi-fiber spectrograph design for the prime focus
of the 8.2m Subaru telescope. PFS will cover 1.3 degree diameter field with 2394 fibers to complement the imaging
capability of Hyper SuprimeCam (HSC). The prime focus unit of PFS called Prime Focus Instrument (PFI) provides the
interface with the top structure of Subaru telescope and also accommodates the optical bench in which Cobra fiber
positioners are located. In addition, the acquisition and guiding (AG) cameras, the optical fiber positioner system, the
cable wrapper, the fiducial fibers, illuminator, and viewer, the field element, and the telemetry system are located inside
the PFI. The mechanical structure of the PFI was designed with special care such that its deflections sufficiently match
those of the HSC’s Wide Field Corrector (WFC) so the fibers will stay on targets over the course of the observations
within the required accuracy.
