Astrometric optical interferometry with non-evacuated delay lines
نویسندگان
چکیده
The effects of longitudinal dispersion in long baseline optical interferometry with non-evacuated delay lines are analyzed. A new technique is proposed for group delay tracking, with phase measurements in two wavebands only. Sensitivity and instrumental uncertainties are further investigated, together with the dependence on stellar color temperature. To a precision level of a few 10−10 rad, limiting factors in dual-field astrometry should be put under control with not too long interferometer baseline.

Obervational Model for Microarcsecond Astrometry with the Space Interferometry Mission
The Space Interferometry Mission (SIM) is a space-based long-baseline optical interferometer for precision astrometry. One of the primary objectives of the SIM instrument is to accurately determine the directions to a grid of stars, together with their proper motions and parallaxes, improving a priori knowledge by nearly three orders of magnitude. The basic astrometric observable of the instrum...

Digital Holographic interferometry is a powerful and widely used optical technique for accurate measurement of variations in physical quantities such as density, refractive index, and etc. In this study, an experimental digital holographic interferometry setup was designed and used to measure the amount of energy changes induced by absorption of radiation from a non-ionizing infrared laser beam...
متن کاملObservational Model for Precision Astrometry with the Space Interferometry Mission
The basic astrometric observable of the Space Interferometry Mission (SIM) instrument is the pathlength delay. This measurement is made by a combination of internal metrology measurements that determine the distance the starlight travels through the two arms of the interferometer and a measurement of the white light stellar fringe to nd the point of equal pathlength. Because this operation requ...
