在0.8到1.5微米范围内的Optical fiber模态噪声和近红外精确径向速度测量的意义

Optical fiber modal noise in the 0.8 to 1.5 micron region and implications for near infrared precision radial velocity measurements

摘要:

光纤中的模态噪声已经被证明限制了光纤耦合高分辨率光谱仪中可实现的信噪比,如果它不通过模态扰频技术来减轻的话。随着波长的增加,模态噪声变得更加重要,并对正在建造的新一代近红外精密径向光谱仪构成风险,或被提议用于搜索冷M矮星周围的行星,这些恒星发出的大部分光都是近红外线。我们目前的实验结果在宾夕法尼亚州立大学表征模态噪声的测试在远可见光到1.5微米,我们使用机械扰频器获得的模式扰频的程度。这些努力是宾夕法尼亚州立大学目前正在开发的宜居带行星光谱仪的风险缓解工作的一部分。

英文摘要:

Modal noise in fibers has been shown to limit the signal-to-noise ratio achievable in fiber-coupled, high-resolution spectrographs if it is not mitigated via modal scrambling techniques. Modal noise become significantly more important as the wavelength increases and presents a risk to the new generation of near-infrared precision radial spectrographs under construction or being proposed to search for planets around cool M-dwarf stars, which emit most of their light in the NIR. We present experimental results of tests at Penn State University characterizing modal noise in the far visible out to 1.5 microns and the degree of modal scrambling we obtained using mechanical scramblers. These efforts are part of a risk mitigation effort for the Habitable Zone Planet Finder spectrograph currently under development at Penn State University.
