Optical and infrared interferometry
Interferometric techniques are at the forefront of modern astronomical instrumentation. A new generation of instruments are either operating or nearing completion, including arrays of small telescopes as well as the “big guns” (VLTI and Keck). A number of space interferometers for the detection of extra-solar planets are also being planned. I will review the current state of play and describe t...
متن کاملOptical Interferometry : Imaging at Visible and Infrared Wavelengths
Progress in astronomy is dependent on the development of new instrumentation that can provide data which are better in some way than the data which were available before. One improvement that has consistently led to astronomical discoveries is that of seeing finer detail in objects. In astronomy, the majority of the objects under study cannot easily be brought closer for inspection, so the typi...
متن کاملGround-based Optical/Infrared Interferometry: High Resolution, High Precision Imaging
Over the past decade, optical interferometry has demonstrated that its combination of high resolution and high precision can make unique contributions to astrophysics. Interferometers have grown in aperture size, baseline length, number of apertures, and spectral resolution. At the same time, methods to circumvent the limitations of interferometry are being introduced. Further increases in sens...
متن کاملThermal Infrared Optical Metrology using Quadri-Wave Lateral Shearing Interferometry
We present the application of Quadri-Wave Lateral Shearing Interferometry (QWLSI), a wave front sensing technique, to characterize thermal infrared lenses for wavelengths within 8 and 14μm. Wave front sensing is not only a tool to quantify optical quality, but also to map the local (dust, scratches) or global possible defects. This method offers the crucial advantage that it yields an analyzed ...
متن کاملRefractive Dual Band Infrared Imager Optical Design
Infrared imagers are important for reorganization and monitoring. This paper discusses the design of an infrared imager. Optical design in medium wavelength infrared (MWIR) and long wavelength infrared (LWIR) bands is different and needs distinct detectors and materials. Reflective systems are not suitable due to their small field of view (FOV) and vignetting. Refractive dual band optical syste...
