Papers
Wavelength-scale stationary-wave integrated Fourier-transform spectrometry
Etienne Le Coarer,Sylvain Blaize,Pierre Benech,Ilan Stefanon,Alain Morand,Gilles Lerondel,Gregory Leblond,Pierre Kern,Jean-Marc Fedeli,Pascal Royer +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a SWIFTS-based spectrometer relying on an original optical near-field detection method in which optical nanoprobes are used to sample directly the evanescent standing wave in the waveguide.

Integrated optics for astronomical interferometry - I. Concept and astronomical applications
Fabien Malbet,P. Kern,Isabelle Schanen-Duport,Jean-Philippe Berger,Karine Rousselet-Perraut,Pierre Benech +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a new instrumental concept for long-baseline optical single-mode interferometry using integrated optics which were developed for telecommunication, and presented the concept of an optical/infrared interferometric instrument based on this new technology.
Integrated optics for astronomical interferometry - II. First laboratory white-light interferograms
Jean-Philippe Berger,K. Rousselet-Perraut,P. Kern,Fabien Malbet,Isabelle Schanen-Duport,François Reynaud,Pierre Haguenauer,Pierre Benech +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the first white-light interferograms with an integrated optics beam combiner on a glass plate were obtained in laboratory with o-the-shelves components coming from micro-sensor applications, not optimized for astronomi- cal use.
Integrated optics for astronomical interferometry. III. Optical validation of a planar optics two-telescope beam combiner
Pierre Haguenauer,Jean-Philippe Berger,Karine Rousselet-Perraut,Pierre Kern,Fabien Malbet,Isabelle Schanen-Duport,Pierre Benech +6 more
TL;DR: The optical characterization of a fiber-connected planar optics beam combiner dedicated to astronomical interferometry for two telescopes is presented and the intrinsic polarization-maintaining property of thePlanar optics component is characterized.

A SWIFTS operating in visible and near-infrared
J. Ferrand,Guillaume Custillon,Serguei Kochtcheev,Sylvain Blaize,Alain Morand,Gregory Leblond,Pierre Benech,Pascal Royer,P. Kern,E. Le Coarer +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the first attempt to realize a SWIFTS based on wave guides in glass and operate in visible and near infra-red in an optical near-field detection in which nanowires of gold are used to sample the evanescent standing wave in the waveguide.
