Linear motion (R-FLEX) for minature 6.2 mm pitch optical fiber position robots with polar (R-theta) kinematics
Nicholas R. Wenner, Joseph H. Silber, Michael S. Schubnell +4
The paper presents R‑FLEX, a compact flexure‑based radial positioning mechanism that converts small base rotations into precise, low‑backlash linear motion for densely packed fiber…
Prototyping of 6.2-mm-Pitch Fiber Positioner Modules for Stage-V Telescope Instrumentation
Malak Galal, Maxime Rombach, Jonathan Wei +18
Small-pitch populated focal planes are essential enabling technologies for the next generation of highly multiplexed astronomical instruments. As modern astrophysics relies on mass…
The Spectroscopic Stage-5 Experiment
Robert Besuner, Arjun Dey, Alex Drlica-Wagner +106
The existence, properties, and dynamics of the dark sectors of our universe pose fundamental challenges to our current model of physics, and large-scale astronomical surveys may be…
