Commissioning the AIP's ultrafast laser Inscription facility: defining the parameter space for type-I waveguide fabrication
Rima Islam, Aline N. Dinkelaker, Abani Shankar Nayak +2
Astrophotonics offers a compact, stable alternative to bulk optics in traditional astronomical instrumentation, spanning high-precision spectroscopy to high-contrast interferometry…
Scaling laws for multi-object spectrographs: empirical relationships and the photonic advantage of CAWSMOS
Kalaga V. Madhav, Martin M. Roth
Conventional multi-object spectrographs (MOS) incur masses and costs that scale unfavourably with channel count~ and resolving power~. A dataset of eigh…
Characterization of a C-RED One camera for astrophotonical applications
Stella Vješnica, Eloy Hernandez, Kalaga Madhav +1
To better understand the impact of the avalanche gain applied in the detector technology and apply this technology in our in-house astrophotonic projects, we have characterized a C…
Six-telescope integrated optics beam combiner fabricated using ultrafast laser inscription for J- and H-band astronomy
Aline N. Dinkelaker, Sebastian Smarzyk, Abani S. Nayak +6
We have built and characterized the first six-telescope discrete beam combiner (DBC) for stellar interferometry in the astronomical J-band. It is the DBC with the largest number of…
