Performance estimation of photonic integrated wavefront corrector for single-mode fiber coupling
Dhwanil Patel, Momen Diab, Ross Cheriton +3
Many modern astronomical instruments rely on the optimal coupling of starlight into single-mode fibers (SMFs). For ground-based telescopes, this coupling is limited by atmospheric…

Experimental demonstration of photonic phase correctors based on grating coupler arrays and thermo-optic shifters
Momen Diab, Ross Cheriton, Jacob Taylor +9
In ground-based astronomy, the ability to couple light into single-mode fibers (SMFs) is limited by atmospheric turbulence, which prohibits the use of many astrophotonic instrument…

End-to-end simulations of photonic phase correctors for adaptive optics systems
Dhwanil Patel, Momen Diab, Ross Cheriton +8
Optical beams and starlight distorted by atmospheric turbulence can be corrected with adaptive optics systems to enable efficient coupling into single-mode fibers. Deformable mirro…
