Abstract

Multicore fibers are gaining growing attention in astronomy. The two main attributes which make them attractive for astronomy are that they reduce the distance between cores and hence have a superior fill factor to other approaches and they offer the possibility to transport light in many channels with the overhead of only having to handle a single fiber. These properties are being exploited to realize miniature integral field units that can transport light from different regions in a focal plane to a spectrograph for example. Here we offer an overview of several applications where multicore fibers are now being considered and applied to astronomical observations to enhance scientific yield.
多芯光纤在天文学中的应用
多芯纤维在天文学中越来越受到关注。它们对天文学有吸引力的两个主要特性是,它们减少了核心之间的距离,因此比其他方法具有更好的填充系数,并且它们提供了在许多通道中传输光的可能性,而只需要处理单个光纤的开销。这些特性正在被用于实现微型集成场单元,例如,可以将光从焦平面的不同区域传输到光谱仪。在这里,我们提供了几个应用的概述,其中多芯光纤现在正在考虑和应用于天文观测,以提高科学产量。
