Learning the Lantern: Neural network applications to broadband photonic lantern modelling

David Sweeney, Barnaby R. M. Norris, Peter Tuthill +4

Photonic lanterns allow the decomposition of highly multimodal light into a simplified modal basis such as single-moded and/or few-moded. They are increasingly finding uses in astr…

Seeking celestial Positronium with an OH-suppressed diffraction-limited spectrograph

J. Gordon Robertson, Simon Ellis, Qingshan Yu +4

Celestially, Positronium (Ps), has only been observed through gamma-ray emission produced by its annihilation. However, in its triplet state, a Ps atom has a mean lifetime long eno…

3D-M3: High-spatial resolution spectroscopy with extreme AO and 3D printed micro-lenslets

Theodoros Anagnos, Mareike Trappen, Blaise C. Kuo Tiong +20

By combining IFS with ExAO we are now able to resolve objects close to the diffraction-limit of large telescopes, exploring new science cases. We introduce an IFU designed to coupl…

All-fiber photonic lantern multimode optical receiver with coherent adaptive optics beam combining

Bo Zhang, Jianfeng Sun, Chenzhe Lao +4

A multimode optical receiver for free space optical communications (FSOC) based on a photonic lantern and adaptive optics coherent beam combining (CBC) of the lantern's single-mode…

A Multi-Core Fibre Photonic Lantern Based Spectrograph for Raman Spectroscopy

Christopher H. Betters, Joss Bland-Hawthorn, Salah Sukkarieh +2

We report on the development of a compact (volume 100\:cm), multimode diffraction-limited Raman spectrograph and probe designed to be compact as possible. The spectro…

An all-photonic focal-plane wavefront sensor

Barnaby R. M. Norris, Jin Wei, Christopher H. Betters +2

Adaptive optics (AO) is critical in astronomy, optical communications and remote sensing to deal with the rapid blurring caused by the Earth's turbulent atmosphere. But current AO…
