Presentation / Conference Contribution
Lemke, U., Corbett, J., Allington-Smith, J., & Murray, G. (2010, December). Characterising modal noise in fibre-coupled spectrographs for astronomy. Presented at Conference on Modern Technologies in Space- and Ground-Based Telescopes and Instrumentation, San Diego, CA

Fibre modal noise occurs in high spectral resolution, high signal-to-noise applications. It imposes fundamental limits upon the photometric accuracy of state-of-the-art fibre-spectrograph systems. In order to maximize the performance of current and f... Read More about Characterising modal noise in fibre-coupled spectrographs for astronomy.

Optical design of optical switches for diverse field spectroscopy (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Content, R., Murray, G. J., & Allington-Smith, J. R. (2010, December). Optical design of optical switches for diverse field spectroscopy. Presented at Modern Technologies in Space- and Ground-based Telescopes and Instrumentation, San Diego, California

Diverse field spectroscopy is a new concept in which any part of a field can be optically captured and send to the entrance slit of a spectrograph. It is more general than integral field spectroscopy, multi-object spectroscopy and even multi-integral... Read More about Optical design of optical switches for diverse field spectroscopy.
