Integrated optics for astronomical interferometry [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2001 We present in this paper the astronomical validation of a new approach to interferometric starlight com- bination. Using integrated optics technologies developed by the telecommunication industry, we have implemented optical circuits on coin-size chips that combine two beams and provide simultaneous photometric calibration sig- nals.

Astronomical quantum optics with Extremely Large Telescopes [PDF]
, 2005 A programme has been started to investigate photon properties that are not currently exploited in astronomical instruments, namely second- and higher-order coherence functions encoded in their arrival time, and the orbital angular momentum.

Introduction to the Special Issue on Structured Light Coherence
Photonics, 2021 Statistical optics, and optical coherence in particular, developed into a stand-alone branch of physical optics in the second half of the 20th century and has found a number of ground-breaking applications in astronomical measurements, medical ...

Nanoengineered astronomical optics [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2004 We describe a technology for the fabrication of inexpensive and versatile mirrors through the use of a new type of nanoengineered optical material composed by the spreading of a self-assembling reflective colloidal film spread at the surface of a liquid. These new reflecting liquids offer interesting possibilities for astronomical instrumentation.
