Optical 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 کاملIntegrated microfluidic variable optical attenuator.
We fabricate and measure a microfluidic variable optical attenuator, which consists of an optical waveguide integrated with a microfluidic channel. An opening is introduced in the upper cladding of the waveguide in order to facilitate the alignment and bonding of the microfluidic channel. By using fluids with different refractive indices, the optical output power is gradually attenuated. We obt...
متن کاملPolarimetry Techniques at Optical and Infrared Wavelengths
The techniques and components used to measure both linear and circular polarization at wavelengths from 0.3 μm to 20 μm are reviewed. Some emphasis is given to the implementation of polarimetry on the latest generation of large-aperture telescopes and some of the difficulties being encountered are addressed.
متن کاملOrganic amorphous fluoropolymer membrane for variable optical attenuator applications
The paper describes the design, fabrication and testing of a MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical systems) variable optical attenuator (VOA) made from an organic fluoropolymer thin film. The optical attenuation is achieved by changing the radius of curvature of the organic thin film by actuating a pneumatic force. The size of the organic polymer membrane is 4 mm × 4 mm and the measured centre displac...
متن کاملGeneration of Multiple Mid Infrared Wavelengths Using PPLN and AgGaSe2
We report the demonstration of simultaneously generating two mid infrared wavelengths using both PPLN and AgGaSe2 nonlinear materials pumped by a KTP OPO at 1.54 μm. In either case, the signal and idler waves were near 2.5 μm and 4.0 μm. The architecture we chose is capable of producing three important IRCM wavelength bands near 2.5, 3.5 and 4.0 μm in the mid infrared region, and of providing r...
