Ultrafast laser inscription of mid-IR directional couplers for stellar interferometry
Alexander Arriola, Sebabrata Mukherjee, Debaditya Choudhury +2
We report the ultrafast laser fabrication and mid-IR characterization (3.39 microns) of four-port evanescent field directional couplers. The couplers were fabricated in a commercia…
HD139614: the interferometric case for a group-Ib pre-transitional young disk
Lucas Labadie, Alexis Matter, Alexander Kreplin +7
The Herbig Ae star HD 139614 is a group-Ib object, which featureless SED indicates disk flaring and a possible pre-transitional evolutionary stage. We present mid- and near-IR inte…
High-Resolution Imaging in the Visible on Large Ground-Based Telescopes
Craig Mackay, Rafael Rebolo, Jonathan Crass +11
Lucky Imaging combined with a low order adaptive optics system has given the highest resolution images ever taken in the visible or near infrared of faint astronomical objects. Thi…
The Science Case for the Planet Formation Imager (PFI)
Stefan Kraus, John Monnier, Tim Harries +16
Among the most fascinating and hotly-debated areas in contemporary astrophysics are the means by which planetary systems are assembled from the large rotating disks of gas and dust…
Planet Formation Imager (PFI): Introduction and Technical Considerations
John D. Monnier, Stefan Kraus, David Buscher +13
Complex non-linear and dynamic processes lie at the heart of the planet formation process. Through numerical simulation and basic observational constraints, the basics of planet fo…
Integrated optics interferometric four telescopes nuller
Ronny Errmann, Stefano Minardi, Lucas Labadie +3
Nulling interferometry has been identified as a competitive technique for the detection of extrasolar planets. The technique consists in combining out-of-phase pairs of telescopes…
Perspective for optical high-angular resolution follow-up studies of X-raying AGNs
Lucas Labadie, Jens Zuther, Andreas Eckart +3
We explore the scientific potential of next-generation high-angular resolution optical imager to study the AGN/Host connection. The availability of a significant number of X-raying…
