Characterization of integrated optics components for the second generation of VLTI instruments
S. Lacour, L. Jocou, T. Moulin +10
Two of the three instruments proposed to ESO for the second generation instrumentation of the VLTI would use integrated optics for beam combination. Several design are studied, inc…
System overview of the VLTI Spectro-Imager
L. Jocou, J. P. Berger, F. Malbet +30
The VLTI Spectro Imager project aims to perform imaging with a temporal resolution of 1 night and with a maximum angular resolution of 1 milliarcsecond, making best use of the Very…
Milli-arcsecond astrophysics with VSI, the VLTI spectro-imager in the ELT era
F. Malbet, D. Buscher, G. Weigelt +49
Nowadays, compact sources like surfaces of nearby stars, circumstellar environments of stars from early stages to the most evolved ones and surroundings of active galactic nuclei c…
Transmission behaviors of single mode hollow metallic waveguides dedicated to mid-infrared nulling interferometry
Laetitia Abel-Tiberini, Lucas Labadie, Brahim Arezki +4
This paper reports the characterization of hollow metallic waveguides (HMW) to be used as single-mode wavefront filters for nulling interferometry in the 6-20 microns range. The me…
Technology challenges for space interferometry: the option of mid-infrared integrated optics
L. Labadie, P. Kern, P. Labeye +5
Nulling interferometry is a technique providing high angular resolution which is the core of the space missions Darwin and the Terrestrail Planet Finder. The first objective is to…
Mid-infrared laser light nulling experiment using single-mode conductive waveguides
L. Labadie, E. Le Coarer, R. Maurand +4
Aims: In the context of space interferometry missions devoted to the search of exo-Earths, this paper investigates the capabilities of new single mode conductive waveguides at prov…
