Modeling the technical specifications for future multi-object spectroscopy instrumentation
Ummee Tania Ahmed, Andrew Hopkins, Simon Ellis
We investigate a proof-of-concept code designed to model the functionality of current generation astronomical fiber positioner instruments. This code accommodates an arbitrary numb…
Astrophotonics: recent and future developments
Simon Charles Ellis, Joss Bland-Hawthorn
Astrophotonics is a burgeoning field that lies at the interface of photonics and modern astronomical instrumentation. Here we provide a pedagogical review of basic photonic functio…
Photonic ring resonator filters for astronomical OH suppression
S. C. Ellis, S. Kuhlmann, K. Kuehn +9
Ring resonators provide a means of filtering specific wavelengths from a waveguide, and optionally dropping the filtered wavelengths into a second waveguide. Both of these features…
First starlight spectrum captured using an integrated photonic micro-spectrograph
N. Cvetojevic, N. Jovanovic, C. Betters +4
Photonic technologies have received growing consideration for incorporation into next-generation astronomical instrumentation, owing to their miniature footprint and inherent robus…
Suppression of the near-infrared OH night sky lines with fibre Bragg gratings - first results
S. C. Ellis, J. Bland-Hawthorn, J. Lawrence +20
The background noise between 1 and 1.8 microns in ground-based instruments is dominated by atmospheric emission from hydroxyl molecules. We have built and commissioned a new instru…
Characterization and on-sky demonstration of an integrated photonic spectrograph for astronomy
N. Cvetojevic, J. S. Lawrence, S. C. Ellis +3
We present results from the first on-sky demonstration of a prototype astronomical integrated photonic spectrograph (IPS) using the Anglo-Australian Telescope near-infrared imaging…
