Hybrid sol-gel technology for fast prototyping in astronomical interferometry
Hybrid sol-gel technology was used for fabrication of prototypes of coaxial two, three and four telescopes beam combiners for astronomical applications. These devices were designed for the astronomical J-band and have been characterized using an optical source with emission centered at 1265 nm and with a spectral FWHM of 50 nm. Interferometric characterization of the two, three and four beam co...
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 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 کاملOptical Amplification and Photosensitivity in Sol-Gel Based Waveguides
The sol-gel process has emerged as an effective route for the fabrication of optical waveguides and guided wave devices and circuits. In particular, it is possible to incorporate active dopants like neodymium, erbium, and cesium for integrated optical active devices and circuits. In this paper, a review of recent research on active devices and circuits based on sol-gel process is made. Specific...
