Obsolete FTS-2 Reference Models

The following links show renderings of the FTS-2 optics at the time of the CoDR. The single-port design has since been discarded in favor of a dual-input dual-output design.The SCUBA-2 feed optics are shown in red, the FTS beam is shown in green. None of the optics support structures are shown.
