Abstract

Fiber spectroscopic telescopes, such as LAMOST, require accurate alignment between the fiber ends and their corresponding celestial targets. In the measurement, the center of a light spot obtained through gray centroid method is regarded as the center of a fiber end. Nevertheless, we’ve observed that these two centers don’t coincide under wide visual angles when integrating sphere (Built in light source for bromine tungsten lamp) is used as light source. Basing on these phenomena we observed, this paper proposes a hypothesis that the maximum intensity of the light transmitted by the optical fiber to the end of the optical fiber is outside the end of the fiber. The intensity distribution at the output end of fibers under integrating sphere light source is simulated in this study. Keywords: accurate alignment
