Read Abstract +

FIRST (Fibered Imager foR a Single Telescope instrument) is an instrument that enables high contrast imaging and spectroscopy, thanks to a unique combination of sparse aperture masking, spatial filtering by single-mode waveguides and cross-dispersion in the visible. In order to increase the instrument’s stability and sensitivity, we have designed and fabricated a 3D laser-written optical chip 5T beam combiner. The multi-aperture beam combiner consists of 5 input waveguides spaced by 250um. Each input is split into 4 waveguides. A pairwise recombination scheme with Yjunctions produces/leads to 10 outputs (127um separation, compatible with commercial V-grooves). In this work, we present the experimental characterization of the chip: transmission performance, polarization issues and single mode spectral range. The targeted single mode spectral range must cover 550-800nm. Different optical powers for laser writing are used to finely tune the ideal single-mode behavior of the waveguides, ranging from 220 to 270mW. A straight waveguide was used as a reference, imprinted close to the first interferometric channel. Using different lasers (635nm, 780nm and 980nm) as well as wideband sources, we have been able to characterize the spectral transmission, the polarization behavior (TE/TM) and the interferometric contrast. The chip was inserted in the FIRST/SUBARU optical bench simulator at LESIA, in order to inject the 5 inputs simultaneously and scan the fringes using 4 independent MEMS, inducing a relative OPD modulation. Preliminary results show very good transmission for such a complex chip: all input channels are above 45% at 635nm (comparing the injected single mode with the sum of the 4 corresponding outputs), with two inputs reaching 80%. A huge advantage of this technology is to avoid the crosstalk due to in-plane waveguide crossings, and we show that no crosstalk is indeed observed. Both polarizations are transmitted, without noticeable birefringence. However, perfect vertical alignment of the outputs is difficult to obtain, and must be optimized prior to any connectorization to fiber bundles.

An all-photonic, dynamic device for flattening the spectrum of a laser frequency comb for precise calibration of radial velocity measurements

Read Abstract +

Laser frequency combs are fast becoming critical to reaching the highest radial velocity precisions. One shortcoming is the highly variable brightness of the comb lines across the spectrum (up to 4-5 orders of magnitude). This can result in some lines saturating while others are at low signal and lost in the noise. Losing lines to either of these effects reduces the precision and hence effectiveness of the comb. In addition, the brightness of the comb lines can vary with time which could drive comb lines with initially reasonable SNR’s into the two regimes described above. To mitigate these two effects, laser frequency combs use optical flattener’s. Flattener’s are typically bulk optic setups that disperse the comb light with a grating, and then use a spatial light modulator to control the amplitude across the spectrum before recombining the light into another single mode fiber and sending it to the spectrograph. These setups can be large (small bench top), expensive (several hundred thousand dollars) and have limited stability. To address these issues, we have developed an all-photonic spectrum flattener on a chip. The device is constructed from optical waveguides on a SiN chip. The light from the laser frequency comb’s output optical fiber can be directly connected to the chip, where the light is first dispersed using an arrayed waveguide grating. To control the brightness of each channel, the light is passed through a Mach-Zehnder interferometer before being recombined with a second arrayed waveguide grating. Thermo-optic phase modulators are used in each channel before recombination to path length match the channels as needed. Here we present the results from our first generation prototype. The device operates from 1400-1800 nm (covering the H band), with 20, 20 nm wide channels. The device was mounted on a PCB board to enable electrical control of the active elements and tested in the laboratory. It was demonstrated that the Mach- Zehnder’s allowed for nearly 40 dBs of dynamic modulation of the spectrum, which is greater than that offered by most spatial light modulators. With a smooth spectrum light source (superluminescent light source), we reduced the spectral variation to 3 dBs, limited by the properties of the components used. On a laser frequency comb which had strong modulations at high spatial frequencies, we still managed to reduce the modulation to 5 dBs. These devices are of the order of a US quarter and could play a significant role in future PRV and EPRV initiatives.

FIRST (Fibered Imager foR a Single Telescope) is a post-AO instrument module that enables high-contrast imaging and spectroscopy at sub-diffraction limited spatial scales. FIRST achieves this through a unique combination of sparse aperture masking, spatial filtering, pupil remapping Fizeau interferometry, and cross-dispersion in the visible. The telescope pupil is divided into sub-pupils using a honeycomb array of micro-electro-mechanical mirrors, and the light from each sub-pupil injected into a separate single mode fiber that provides spatial filtering. The fibers, which are pathlength-matched to within a few tens of micrometers, reformat the sub-apertures into a linear non-redundant array allowing for the extraction of fringes from each possible baseline as well as wavelength dispersion to create ~130 spectral channels for every baseline combination over the 600-900nm spectral range. In this presentation, we will first report on the latest on-sky results obtained with FIRST. In its current design, the instrument was successfully integrated on the 3-m telescope at Lick Observatory and is now a module of the SCExAO extreme adaptive optics instrument on the 8-m Subaru Telescope. The latest on-sky results obtained from commissioning data show the detection of the stellar companion of the Alpha Equu binary system at an angular separation of 0.6 λ/D (11mas). Even at such a separation, the FIRST data delivers information on the companion spectrum, providing valuable constraints on the stellar parameters of the system such as the effective temperatures. The second part of this presentation will focus on the ongoing instrument upgrades with the aim of increasing the instrument’s stability and sensitivity, thus improving the dynamic range. We initiated a comprehensive upgrade of FIRST’s interferometric components to a new series of photonic on-chip beam combiners and automated optoelectronic delay lines for rapid phasing of each sub-pupil. The new photonic beam combining chips split light from each sub-aperture and combines them to provide a simultaneous measurement of the fringes from every baseline. Another function of the new photonic chips is the inclusion of waveguides in crystalline electro-optic material (Lithium niobate) that enable on-chip active phase control of the light at high speeds (up to kHz). This type of photonic architecture has not been implemented previously for astronomical interferometry of this kind and could potentially provide FIRST with key advantages (see Martin et al., these proceedings). While the beam-combiner output no longer requires non-redundancy, the fiber array that feeds the chip input still requires accurate pathlength-matching to achieve high fringe contrasts. The existing fibers were individually manufactured to ensure identical length. However, while this method was successful, it was not very flexible particularly if any photonic components are added that change the overall fiber length. Thus, another key FIRST upgrade is the use of actively controlled fiber delay lines capable of compensating for up to 100 mm of differential pathlength in each fiber, with sub-micron accuracy. This type of active pathlength control allows FIRST to not only correct for unwanted environmental phase delays, but also makes it entirely reconfigurable regardless of the back-end photonics used.
