摘要：

KIR is a 1024x1024 near-infrared camera used with the Adaptive Optics Bonnette (PUEO) of the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope. The camera houses a 1024x1024 HgCdTe and simple refractive optics providing diffraction-limited images with an image scale of 0.035"/pixel. First light was obtained in December 1997. The throughput of the camera, from the top of the atmosphere down to the detector including PUEO, is 19%, 20% and 21% at J, H and K, respectively. This project is a collaboration between the Universite de Montreal, the Observatoire Midi Pyrenees and the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT). The design and performance of the instrument are presented in this paper.
