Coupling of large telescopes and single-mode waveguides: application to stellar interferometry

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The coupling between a turbulence-distorted optical beam and a single-mode waveguide is addressed. The coupling efficiency and the coupled phase are derived, both without aberrations and with small aberrations. These analytical expressions are validated by numerical simulations. Correction with adaptive optics is investigated. In the general case, the Strehl ratio is a pessimistic estimator, and the coupled phase is different and has a smaller variance than the classical phase averaged over the pupil. Application fields are heterodyne detection and stellar interferometry, for which spatial and modal filtering are distinguished.
