Astronomical photonics in the context of infrared interferometry and high-resolution spectroscopy [PDF]
We review the potential of Astrophotonics, a relatively young field at the interface between photonics and astronomical instrumentation, for spectro-interferometry.

A near infrared frequency comb for Y+J band astronomical spectroscopy [PDF]
Radial velocity (RV) surveys supported by high precision wavelength references (notably ThAr lamps and I2 cells) have successfully identified hundreds of exoplanets; however, as the search for exoplanets moves to cooler, lower mass stars, the optimum ...

The ERA2 facility: towards application of a fiber-based astronomical spectrograph for imaging spectroscopy in life sciences [PDF]
Astronomical instrumentation is most of the time faced with challenging requirements in terms of sensitivity, stability, complexity, etc., and therefore leads to high performance developments that at first sight appear to be suitable only for the ...

Near-infrared integral-field spectroscopy of HD209458b [PDF]
We present first results of an exploratory study to use integral field spectroscopy to observe extrasolar planets. We focus on transiting "Hot Jupiters" and emphasize the importance of observing strategy and exact timing.

Morphology in the Era of Large Surveys [PDF]
The study of galaxies has changed dramatically over the past few decades with the advent of large-scale astronomical surveys. These large collaborative efforts have made available high-quality imaging and spectroscopy of hundreds of thousands of systems,

On the use of electron-multiplying CCDs for astronomical spectroscopy [PDF]
Conventional CCD detectors have two major disadvantages: they are slow to read out and they suffer from read noise. These problems combine to make high-speed spectroscopy of faint targets the most demanding of astronomical observations. It is possible to

Chaos-assisted two-octave-spanning microcombs [PDF]
Since its invention, optical frequency comb has revolutionized a broad range of subjects from metrology to spectroscopy. The recent development of microresonator-based frequency combs (microcombs) provides a unique pathway to create frequency comb ...
