Abstract content
Extreme Universe Space Observatory on JEM/EF (JEM-EUSO) is a space mission to observe extremely high-energy cosmic rays. JEM-EUSO is a wide-angle refractive telescope in near-ultraviolet wavelength region to observe time- resolved atmospheric fluorescence images of the extensive air showers from the International Space Station. This paper will discuss the optical system of JEM-EUSO. We will report on an optimized optics design that maximizes the sensitivity of JEM-EUSO. We will describe this design and report on the results of optics manufacturing tests.
