This paper describes a new infrared imaging system being developed at UCLA for use on both the Lick Observatory 3-m telescope and the W.M. Keck 10-m telescope. The instrument has a relatively wide field of view on each telescope and is intended for infrared surveys and deep imaging. To enhance efficiency, the new instrument incorporates a dichroic beam splitter to provide two simultaneous imaging systems, one short-wave (SW) from 1 - 2.5 micrometers and one long-wave (LW) from 2 - 5 micrometers . Each wavelength channel is independently optimized. The SW channel contains a Rockwell NICMOS3 256 X 256 HgCdTe array and the LW channel has an SBRC 256 X 256 InSb array. The thermal design employs a closed cycle cooler. A control and data acquisition system based on transputers and high speed analog electronics is being developed to handle the high data rates.
