Theoretical Analysis of Fiber Arrangements for Improved Coupling Efficiency in the VBT High-Resolution Echelle Spectrograph

Nitish Singh, S. Sriram, Bharat Kumar Yerra +1

In fiber-based spectroscopy within telescopes, a prevailing limitation has been the necessity to align the fiber diameter with the telescope's seeing conditions, often characterize…
