Title:
MMO-632
Fiber optical wavefront filtering
The DARWIN system requires wavefront errors of less than lambda/1000 at 5 micron between pairs of telescopes in order to
achieve the required nulling quality. Such high wavefront quality is difficult to achieve without wavefront filtering measures.
The aim here is to establish a wavefront filtering system (WFS) of the DARWIN telescope system. The sub-activities
envisaged are: Establishment of wavefront filtering concepts for the DARWIN system based on single-mode fibres,
Investigation of additional functionality, which can be fulfilled by a fibre-optic system, Design and breadboarding of a
broadband single-mode IR fibres system, Performance Validation of the fibre-optic filtering (and nulling) system.
Deliverables:
Breadboard
