Abstract

Photonic lanterns are an important enabling technology for astrophotonics with a wide range of potential applications including fibre Bragg grating OH suppression, integrated photonic spectrographs and fibre scramblers for high resolution spectroscopy. The behaviour of photonic lanterns differs in several important respects from the conventional fibre systems more frequently used in astronomical instruments and a detailed understanding of this behaviour is required in order t...
