An Integrated Optics beam combiner for the second generation VLTI instruments
Context. The very recent years have seen a promising start in scientific publications making use of images produced by near-infrared long-baseline interferometry. The technique has reached, at last, a technical maturity level that opens new avenues for numerous astrophysical topics requiring milli-arc-second model-independent imaging. The Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI) is on the pat...
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...
متن کاملA Low-loss Integrated Beam Combiner based on Polarization Multiplexing
We present a design of an integrated beam combiner which cascades power combiners and polarization converter/combiner. The proposed device has 2 dB lower loss than power combiners and is more fabrication-tolerant than wavelength combiners.

متن کاملIntegrated optical circuits: An overview and an optical beam combiner circuit
This presentation includes a short overview of integrated optics and a more detailed description of a realized optical beam combiner circuit for a space optic application. The introduction covers the basics of straight and bent waveguides, crossings and couplers. Integration of waveguides with fibers, lasers, detectors and electronics is briefly described, as well as the main differences betwee...
متن کاملIon beam micromachining of integrated optics components.
Thin film integrated optics components such as light guides, modulators, directional couplers, and polarizers demand high quality edge smoothness and high resolution pattern formation in dimensions down to submicrometer size. Fabrication techniques combining holographic and scanning electron beam lithography with ion beam micromachining have produced planar phase gratings with intervals as smal...
