Design, Fabrication, and Free-Space Characterization of a Two-Photon-Polymerized Nano-printed Photonic Lantern
Kyra Watts, Natasha Popenoe, Benjamin Gerard +6
Photonic lanterns provide an interface between multimode optical fields and arrays of single-mode waveguides, making them promising components for modal filtering, wavefront sensin…
Initial modeling and testbed feasibility studies of WaveDriver: a laser guide star AO system for HWO
Dominic F. Sanchez, Benjamin L. Gerard, Peter Waswa +16
The Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) will require greater wavefront stability than achieved by JWST, pushing conventional telescope architectures to picometer-level…
Laboratory characterization of a multi-photonic lantern optical waveguide using off-axis holography
Aditya R. Sengupta, Benjamin L. Gerard, Dominic Sanchez +7
Photonic lanterns (PLs) are waveguides that convert multi-mode input light to single-mode outputs. Wavefront sensing (WFS) and spectroscopy using a PL have been demonstrated, but P…
WaveDriver: a Laser Guide Star AO System for HWO
Benjamin L. Gerard, Alex Geringer-Sameth, Aditya R. Sengupta +7
Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) presents a key challenge for technology development in the coming years, requiring a more stable system than \textit{JWST}. WaveD…
WaveDriver: a Laser Guide Star AO System for HWO
Benjamin L. Gerard, Alex Geringer-Sameth, Aditya R. Sengupta +16
HWO's Tier 1 Contrast Stability Technology Gap presents a key challenge for technology development in the coming years, requiring to a >100x more stable system than JWST. WaveDrive…
Experimental validation of photonic lantern imaging and wavefront sensing performance
Aditya R. Sengupta, Vincent Chambouleyron, Jordan Diaz +15
Photonic lanterns (PLs) are fiber-based waveguides that are capable of focal-plane wavefront sensing while simultaneously directing light to downstream science instruments. The opt…
Resolved-sideband Raman cooling to the ground state of an optical lattice
S. E. Hamann, D. L. Haycock, G. Klose +3
We trap neutral Cs atoms in a two-dimensional optical lattice and cool them close to the zero-point of motion by resolved-sideband Raman cooling. Sideband cooling occurs via transi…
