The AstroTechTalk (ger) offers a place to discuss, for all interested colleagues and especially for the technical departments, the project leaders, the administration and the scientists as the ultimately users:

status of instrumentation projects
scientific tasks and features of the instruments in construction or planned
new possible involvements
technical innovations and developments
technical problems and their solutions
logistical problems and their solutions
how to improve operation and observation
project standards.

New Time: Always Mondays 15:00 - 16:00

Date	Speaker	Topic
20.02.2023	Simon Gross (Macquarie University, Sydney)	Integrated Photonics for Astronomical Interferometry Applying photonic technologies to astronomical instrumentation is a growing field. High contrast imaging using interferometry especially benefits from the inherent stability and robustness provided by integrated photonics. This talk will provide an overview of the photonics for interferometry we have been working on at Macquarie University. The GLINT instrument at the Subaru telescope is a multi-baseline nulling interferometer based on 3D integrated photonics operating in the H-band. The talk will present the instrument concept and will introduce the planned upgrades in the coming years to add new capabilities and vastly improve its performance. Moreover, the talk will touch on recent progress on the L-band beam combiner for SCIFY (Self-Calibrated Interferometry For exoplanet spectroscopy), an instrument planned for the VLTI.
