Optical Fibres

In the following posts we  show information on the applications of fibre optics in astronomical instrumentation aimed to the amateur spectroscopy community. We expect to publish the last two posts in 2011

  1. Introduction
  2. Advantages and drawbacks of optical fibres in astronomical instrumentation
  3. Types of optical fibres with a dedicated post on Tapered Fibres
  4. Characterization of optical fibres
  5. Linking a telescope to a spectrograph through an optical fibre. Part I
    Linking a telescope to a spectrograph through an optical fibre. Part II
    Linking a telescope to a spectrograph through an optical fibre. Part III
    (Matching  the  fibre to the spectrograph)
  6. Preparation of a fibre link
