The CQUEAN (Camera for QUasars in EArly uNiverse) is an optical CCD camera optimized for the observation of high redshift QSOs to understand the nature of early universe. The focal reducer, which is composed of four spherical lens, is allowed to secure a wider field of view for CQUEAN, by reducing the focal length of the system by one third. We designed the lens configuration, the lens barrel, and the adapters to assemble to attach focal reducer to the CCD camera system. We performed tolerance analysis using ZEMAX. The manufacturing of the focal reducer system and its lab test of optical performance were already finished. It turned out that the performance can meet the original requirement, with the aberration and alignment error taken into account. We successfully attached the focal reducer and CQUEAN to the cassegrain focus of 2.1m telescope at McDonald Observatory, USA, and several tests of CQUEAN system were carried out. In this presentation, I will show the process of focal reducer fabrication and the result of performance test.

1m Otto Struve telescope at McDonald Observatory, USA, from which we investigated the characteristics and performance of the system. Bias and dark images were taken under various temperature conditions to examine the system behavior, and both twilight and dome flat images were obtained to investigate the appropriate preprocessing procedures of the data. Crude initial estimate indicated one hour integration would reach limiting magnitude of 24.
