Demonstration of a photonic lantern low order wavefront sensor using an adaptive optics testbed
Mark K. Corrigan, Timothy J. Morris, Robert J. Harris +1
We demonstrate the use of an optimized 5 core photonic lantern (PL) to simultaneously measure tip/tilt errors at the telescope focal plane, while also providing the input to an ins…

Optimizing astrophotonic spatial reformatters using simulated on-sky performance
Theodoros Anagnos, Robert J. Harris, Mark K. Corrigan +7
One of the most useful techniques in astronomical instrumentation is image slicing. It enables a spectrograph to have a more compact angular slit, whilst retaining throughput and i…

Simulation and Optimization of an Astrophotonic Reformatter
Th. Anagnos, R. J. Harris, M. K. Corrigan +7
Image slicing is a powerful technique in astronomy. It allows the instrument designer to reduce the slit width of the spectrograph, increasing spectral resolving power whilst retai…
