New Optics for Astronomical Polarimetry [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2014 AbstractThere is a variety of new polarization optics that can be employed for polarimetry and for polarization control. Many are enabled by new materials including polymers and liquid crystals. We survey here these and other relatively new devices and components available commercially that open new possibilities for astronomers.

Planar integrated optics and astronomical interferometry [PDF]
Comptes Rendus de l'Académie des Sciences - Series IV - Physics, 2001 Integrated optics (IO) is an optical technology that allows to reproduce optical circuits on a planar substrate. Since 1996, we have investigated the potentiality of IO in the framework of astronomical single mode interferometry. We review in this paper the principles of IO, the requirements for interferometry and the corresponding solutions offered by
