The Goddard IRAM Superconducting Millimeter Observer (GISMO) is a new superconducting bolometer array camera for the IRAM 30 Meter Telescope on Pico Veleta, Spain. GISMO uses a 3He/4He cooler mounted to a liquid He/LN2 cryostat to cool the bolometer array and SQUID electronics to an operating temperature of 260mK. The bolometer array is based on the backshort-under-grid architecture and features 128 2mm square absorbing pixels. A 101mm diameter anti-reflection coated silicon lens is used to define the beam. A single cold pupil stop prevents warm radiation from reaching the array, but no other stops are used. In the beam, filters and a cold baffling and stray light suppression system were used to define the bandpass and prevent out-of-band radiation to a very high level, including out-of-band radiation leaking through the metal-mesh filters from extreme angles. We present a detailed description of this optical design and its performance. A comprehensive report of the electronics and cryogenic integration are also included.
