Optical design of VIPER: a high-resolution multimode fiber-fed VIPA spectrograph for characterizing exoplanet atmospheric escape
Matthew C. H. Leung, David Charbonneau, Andrew Szentgyorgyi +1
We present the optical design of VIPER: a high-resolution, multimode fiber-fed, narrowband, cross-dispersed, seeing-limited spectrograph based on a Virtually Imaged Phased Array (V…
Coupling loss and transmission in a multimode fiber-fed Virtually Imaged Phased Array (VIPA)
Matthew C. H. Leung, Andrew Szentgyorgyi, Colby Jurgenson +1
The Virtually Imaged Phased Array (VIPA) is a spectral disperser that has seen increasing adoption across various applications, including optical telecommunications, high-resolutio…
Crank-rocker optical fiber mode scrambler prototype for the GMT-Consortium Large Earth Finder (G-CLEF)
Matthew C. H. Leung, Colby Jurgenson, Andrew Szentgyorgyi +7
When coherent light propagates through a multimode optical fiber, the modes interfere at the fiber exit boundary, producing a high-contrast speckle interference pattern called moda…
VIPER: A high-resolution multimode fiber-fed VIPA spectrograph concept for characterizing exoplanet atmospheric escape
Matthew C. H. Leung, David Charbonneau, Andrew Szentgyorgyi +7
An increasing number of applications in exoplanetary science require spectrographs with high resolution and high throughput without the need for a broad spectral range. Examples in…
