摘要
We present the concept of an instrument that will create 4 circular sub-pupils of 3 m in diameter. Each sub-pupil path will be corrected by a high order adaptive optics system (SR similar to 80% in H) without spider and M2 obstruction. These four independent channels, obviously all pointed towards the same field, allows the possibility of covering totally different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum simultaneously without compromising Signal to Noise Ratio. Each channel can be dedicated to very specialized but complementary purposes: high contrast imaging, pseudo-wide field imaging, high precision multi-color photometry, medium-resolution spectroscopy, polarimetry and sparse-aperture masking
