Fiber-linked telescope array: description and laboratory tests of a two-channel prototype

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We present a complete two-telescope version of a fiber-linked coherent array that is meant to be used for mounting on the dish of a radio telescope. This was built with 20-cm amateur telescopes and includes three different servo subsystems for guiding, nulling of the air path difference, and fiber length control. Laboratory tests of the fully integrated system in front of a star simulator are described.
