Abstract

The project NAIR "Novel Astronomical Instrumentation based on photonic light Reformating" is a DFG-funded collaboration to exploit the recognized potential of photonics solutions for a radically new approach to astronomical instrumentation for optical/infrared high precision spectroscopy and high angular resolution imaging. We present a project update, with the developments in our ULI waveguides and 3D printed structures for astronomical instrumentation and on sky testing results obtained at the WHT, Subaru (SCExAO) and LBT. This shows the NAIR project is helping to lead to important technological breakthroughs facilitating uniquely functionality and technical solutions for the next generation of instrumentation.
