Infrared space interferometers can surpass the spatial resolution limitations of single-dish space telescopes. However, stellar interferometers from space have not been realized because of technical ...
The AIMS Interferometer represents over 20 years leading edge development resulting in easy to use, robust products, which have been specifically optimised for each measurement application. All ...
Astronomers working with the Very large Telescope (VLT) at the European Southern Observatory (ESO) have begun using a new piece of optical equipment that will yield unprecedented insights into the ...
Astronomers have captured the sharpest image of the young binary star Theta1 Orionis C in the Orion Trapezium cluster. In the new image, obtained using the ESO/VLT interferometer, one clearly ...
Long baseline optical interferometry is a technique which enables observations of the night sky with milliarcsecond spatial resolution, by coherently combining the light from telescopes hundreds of ...
HELSINKI — China aims to construct an array of telescopes in deep space to search for habitable planets orbiting other stars. The Miyin project envisions sending four light-collecting telescopes and a ...
White light interferometry (WLI) is a contact-free optical method for measuring surface height. It uses the phase difference between the light reflected off a reference mirror and the target sample to ...
MOUNT WILSON, Calif.-Georgia State University's Center for High Angular Resolution Astronomy (CHARA) and the French company ALPAO have signed a contract for the development of an adaptive optics ...
Sixteen laser beams are combined into one high-power source thanks to four specially-designed components. Scientists in Israel have come up with a simple way to coherently recombine 16 laser beams ...
