Planar Integrated Optics and astronomical interferometry
نویسندگان
چکیده
Integrated optics (IO) is an optical technology that allows to reproduce optical circuits on a planar substrate. Since 1996, we have investigated the potentiality of IO in the framework of astronomical single mode interferometry. We review in this paper the principles of IO, the requirements for interferometry and the corresponding solutions offered by IO, the results of component characterization and the possible fields of application.

متن کاملIntegrated optics for astronomical interferometry - I. Concept and astronomical applications
We propose a new instrumental concept for long-baseline optical single-mode interferometry using integrated optics which were developed for telecommunication. Visible and infrared multi-aperture interferometry requires many optical functions (spatial filtering, beam combination, photometric calibration, polarization control) to detect astronomical signals at very high angular resolution. Since ...
متن کاملIntegrated optics for astronomical interferometry - II. First laboratory white-light interferograms
We report first white-light interferograms obtained with an integrated optics beam combiner on a glass plate. These results demonstrate the feasability of singlemode interferometric beam combination with integrated optics technology presented and discussed in Paper I (Malbet et al. 1999). The demonstration is achieved in laboratory with off-the-shelves components coming from micro-sensor applic...
متن کاملAstrophotonics: a new era for astronomical instruments.
Astrophotonics lies at the interface of astronomy and photonics. This burgeoning field has emerged over the past decade in response to the increasing demands of astronomical instrumentation. Early successes include: (i) planar waveguides to combine signals from widely spaced telescopes in stellar interferometry; (ii) frequency combs for ultra-high precision spectroscopy to detect planets around...
متن کاملAn infrared integrated optic astronomical beam combiner for stellar interferometry at 3-4 microm.
Integrated-optic, astronomical, two-beam and three-beam, interferometric combiners have been designed and fabricated for operation in the L band (3 microm--4 microm) for the first time. The devices have been realized in titanium-indiffused, x-cut lithium niobate substrates, and on-chip electro-optic fringe scanning has been demonstrated. White light fringes were produced in the laboratory using...
