Abstract

This paper traces the 37 years of my career dedicated to the development of integral field spectroscopy (IFS), highlighting significant milestones and advancements. This extensive journey encompasses three generations of IFS: the initial prototype TIGER at CFHT, the first generation including OASIS at CFHT and SAURON at WHT, the second generation with MUSE at VLT, and the potential third generation represented by the Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) project. Throughout, I discuss the lessons learned at each stage and provide my perspective on the future of IFS.

从 TIGER 到 WST：积分场光谱学四十年发展的科学影响

本文回顾了我 37 年来致力于发展积分场光谱学（IFS）的职业生涯，重点介绍了重要的里程碑和进展。这一漫长的历程涵盖了三代整体场光谱仪：CFHT 的最初原型 TIGER，包括 CFHT 的 OASIS 和 WHT 的 SAURON 在内的第一代，VLT 的 MUSE 在内的第二代，以及以宽视场光谱望远镜（WST）项目为代表的潜在第三代。在整个过程中，我讨论了每个阶段的经验教训，并对 IFS 的未来提出了自己的看法。

期刊介绍： Astrophysics and Space Science publishes original contributions and invited reviews covering the entire range of astronomy, astrophysics, astrophysical cosmology, planetary and space science and the astrophysical aspects of astrobiology. This includes both observational and theoretical research, the techniques of astronomical instrumentation and data analysis and astronomical space instrumentation. We particularly welcome papers in the general fields of high-energy astrophysics, astrophysical and astrochemical studies of the interstellar medium including star formation, planetary astrophysics, the formation and evolution of galaxies and the evolution of large scale structure in the Universe. Papers in mathematical physics or in general relativity which do not establish clear astrophysical applications will no longer be considered. The journal also publishes topically selected special issues in research fields of particular scientific interest. These consist of both invited reviews and original research papers. Conference proceedings will not be considered. All papers published in the journal are subject to thorough and strict peer-reviewing. Astrophysics and Space Science features short publication times after acceptance and colour printing free of charge.
