Effect of near-field distribution on transmission characteristics of fiber-fed Fabry-Perot etalons
Jun Hao, Liang Tang, Huiqi Ye +6
Fiber-fed etalons are widely employed in advanced interferometric instruments such as gravitational-wave detectors, ultrastable lasers and calibration reference for high-precision…
The backbone-residual model. Accurately characterising the instrumental profile of a fibre-fed echelle spectrograph
Zhibo Hao, Huiqi Ye, Jian Han +14
Context: Instrumental profile (IP) is the basic property of a spectrograph. Accurate IP characterisation is the prerequisite of accurate wavelength solution. It also facilitates ne…

Alexis Hill, Nicolas Flagey, Alan McConnachie +122
(Abridged) This is the Maunakea Spectroscopic Explorer 2018 book. It is intended as a concise reference guide to all aspects of the scientific and technical design of MSE, for the…
The Infrared Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) for TMT: closed-loop adaptive optics while dithering
Edward L. Chapin, Jennifer Dunn, David Andersen +17
The InfraRed Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) is the first-light client instrument for the Narrow Field Infrared Adaptive Optics System (NFIRAOS) on the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT). IR…
Higher dispersion and efficiency Bragg gratings for optical spectroscopy
Will Saunders, Kai Zhang, Thomas Flügel-Paul
Massively multiplexed spectroscopic stellar surveys such as MSE present enormous challenges in the spectrograph design. The combination of high multiplex, large telescope aperture,…
Maunakea Spectroscopic Explorer (MSE): a preliminary design of multi-object high resolution spectrograph
Kai Zhang, Yifei Zhou, Zhen Tang +8
The Maunakea Spectroscopic Explorer (MSE) project will transform the CFHT 3.6m optical telescope to a 10m class dedicated multi-object spectroscopic facility, with an ability to me…
