Abstract

FRIDA is an infrared (0.9 microns- 2.5 microns ) imager and integral field spectrograph that will work in concert with the Gran Telescopio Canarias Adaptive Optics system (GTCAO). We describe the assembly, integration and validation of the FRIDA optics: the manufacture of the optical components at our UNAM workshops; the opto-mechanical assembly including the alignment and interferometric validation tests; the assembly and testing of all of the optics and mechanisms on a the cold bench at room temperature. Finally, the cryogenic subsystems validation, prior to the final assembly and integration of the instrument inside the FRIDA cryostat.
