We present the ongoing development of a commercially available Micron Optics fiber-Fabry Perot Interferometer as a precise, stable, easy to use, and economic spectrograph reference with the goal of achieving <1 m/s long term stability.…

An optical etalon illuminated by a white light source provides a broadband comb-like spectrum that can be employed as a calibration source for astronomical spectrographs in radial velocity (RV) surveys for extrasolar planets. For this…

Accurate wavelength calibration is an important factor for any measurement with high resolution spectrographs. Stellar spectrum comprises of discrete absorption or emission lines whose position is precisely determined by calibrating the…

When illuminated by a white light source, the discrete resonances of a Fabry-Perot interferometer (FP) provide a broad bandwidth, comb-like spectrum useful for frequency calibration. We report on the design, construction and laboratory…

The possibility of an Earth-Sun analog beyond our solar system is one of the most longstanding questions in science. At present, answering this question embodies an extremely difficult measurement problem that requires multiple coordinated…

The comb-like spectrum of a white light-illuminated Fabry-P\'{e}rot etalon can serve as a cost-effective and stable reference for precise Doppler measurements. Understanding the stability of these devices across their broad (100's of nm)…

We present the design concept of the wavelength calibration system for the Habitable-zone Planet Finder instrument (HPF), a precision radial velocity (RV) spectrograph designed to detect terrestrial-mass planets around M-dwarfs. HPF is a…

We propose a dual cavity Fabry-Perot interferometer as a wavelength calibrator and a stability tracking device for astronomical spectrograph. The FPI consists of two adjoining cavities engraved on a low expansion monoblock spacer. A…

Over the past decades hollow-cathode lamps have been calibration standards for spectroscopic measurements. Advancing to cm/s radial velocity precisions with the next generation of instruments requires more suitable calibration sources with…

Fiber Fabry--Perot (FFP) resonators of a few centimeters are optimized as a function of the reflectivity of the mirrors and the dimensions of the intra-cavity waveguide. Loaded quality factor in excess of 10^9, with an optimum of…

The Habitable-zone Planet Finder (HPF) is a highly stabilized fiber fed precision radial velocity (RV) spectrograph working in the Near Infrared (NIR): 810 - 1280 nm . In this paper we present an overview of the preparation of the optical…

We consider the use of the commercially available Fabry-Perot etalons (FP) for the imaging of the solar chromosphere in the H alpha line of HI. Three etalons of 40, 60 and 90 mm diameter were accurately analysed. At normal incidence the…

We present a novel implementation for extremely high resolution spectroscopy using custom-designed Fabry Perot Interferometer (FPI) arrays. For a given telescope aperture at the seeing limited case, these arrays can achieve resolutions well…

The study of Earth-mass extrasolar planets via the radial-velocity technique and the measurement of the potential cosmological variability of fundamental constants call for very-high-precision spectroscopy at the level of…

We present the scientific motivation and conceptual design for the recently funded Habitable-zone Planet Finder (HPF), a stabilized fiber-fed near-infrared (NIR) spectrograph for the 10 meter class Hobby-Eberly Telescope (HET) that will be…

The field of exoplanet research is moving towards the detection and characterization of habitable planets. These exo-Earths can be easily found around low-mass stars by using either photometric transit or radial-velocity (RV) techniques. In…

The IAG solar observatory is producing high-fidelity, ultra-high-resolution spectra (R>500000) of the spatially resolved surface of the Sun using a Fourier Transform spectrometer (FTS). The radial velocity (RV) calibration of these spectra…

Ultrahigh-resolution fiber-optic sensing has been demonstrated with a meter-long, high-finesse fiber Fabry-Perot interferometer (FFPI). The main technical challenge of large, environment-induced resonance frequency drift is addressed by…
