A UCLA-led team has used a novel optical fibre device called a photonic lantern on the Subaru Telescope to achieve record-breaking resolution, revealing unprecedented details of a star's surrounding gas disc and demonstrating a new method to study celestial objects with greater clarity than traditional techniques.
Astronomers have achieved the sharpest view of a distant star ever using a single telescope equipped with a novel device called a photonic lantern, which splits and analyzes starlight to produce high-resolution images, potentially revolutionizing the study of celestial objects.
Researchers at Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Nokia Bell Labs have developed a compact, 3D-printed microscale photonic lantern that enables efficient spatial mode multiplexing for optical communication and imaging applications. This breakthrough device, fabricated using direct laser writing and two-photon polymerization, offers low insertion loss and high integration potential, marking a significant advancement in photonic technology.
