FIRST-PL: Commissioning the first visible photonic lantern spectrograph for sub-diffraction-limit astronomy on Subaru/SCExAO
Sebastien Vievard, Elsa Huby, Sylvestre Lacour +18
FIRST-PL (Fibered Imager foR a Single Telescope - Photonic Lantern) is a newly commissioned visible-light instrument on Subaru/SCExAO achieving spectroscopy below the diffraction l…
Spectroscopy using a visible photonic lantern at the Subaru telescope: Laboratory characterization and first on-sky demonstration on Ikiiki (α Leo) and `Aua (α Ori)
Sébastien Vievard, Manon Lallement, Sergio Leon-Saval +23
Photonic lanterns are waveguide devices enabling high throughput single mode spectroscopy and high angular resolution. We aim to present the first on-sky demonstration of a photoni…
Spectral interferometric wavefront sensing: a solution for petalometry at Subaru/SCExAO
Vincent Deo, Sebastien Vievard, Manon Lallement +12
The petaling effect, induced by pupil fragmentation from the telescope spider, drastically affects the performance of high contrast instruments by inducing core splitting on the PS…
Visible Photonic Lantern integration, characterization and on-sky testing on Subaru/SCExAO
Sébastien Vievard, Manon Lallement, Sergio Leon-Saval +23
A Photonic Lantern (PL) is a novel device that efficiently converts a multi-mode fiber into several single-mode fibers. When coupled with an extreme adaptive optics (ExAO) system a…
