Apochromatic lenses for near-infrared astronomical instruments
Deqing Ren Jeremy R. Allington-Smith University of Durham Department of Physics Durham DH1 3LE United Kingdom E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. A method based on the Herzberger approach has been investigated for the selection of glasses for the apochromatic correction at near-infrared (NIR) wavelength. The method avoids the algebraic complexity and simplifies the glass selection process...
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 کاملMid-infrared guided optics: a perspective for astronomical instruments.
Research activities during the last decade have shown the strong potential of photonic devices to greatly simplify ground based and space borne astronomical instruments and to improve their performance. We focus specifically on the mid-infrared wavelength regime (about 5-20 microm), a spectral range offering access to warm objects (about 300 K) and to spectral features that can be interpreted a...
متن کاملAstrophotonics: molding the flow of light in astronomical instruments.
Since its emergence two decades ago, astrophotonics has found broad application in scientific instruments at many institutions worldwide. The case for astrophotonics becomes more compelling as telescopes push for AO-assisted, diffraction-limited performance, a mode of observing that is central to the next-generation of extremely large telescopes (ELTs). Even AO systems are beginning to incorpor...
متن کاملCramér-Rao sensitivity limits for astronomical instruments: implications for interferometer design.
Multiple-telescope interferometry for high-angular-resolution astronomical imaging in the optical-IR-far-IR bands is currently a topic of great scientific interest. The fundamentals that govern the sensitivity of direct-detection instruments and interferometers are reviewed, and the rigorous sensitivity limits imposed by the Cramér-Rao theorem are discussed. Numerical calculations of the Cramér...
