光干涉与综合孔径技术发展

Development on Techniques of the Optical Interferometry and Aperture Synthesis

回顾了光干涉与综合孔径技术发展的历史和现状,分析了国际上用于天文观测的一些著名地基和空基光干涉仪的技术特点,介绍了光干涉与综合孔径技术的发展,以及在光学综合孔径技术领域所发展的光纤与集成光学等新技术,简要介绍了近年来我国开展光干涉与综合孔径技术的进展情况。针对光干涉与综合孔径技术的发展前景和国内外技术发展趋势,发出了加快发展我国光干涉与综合孔径技术的呼吁。

The history and present status of the development on optical interferometry and aperture synthesis are briefly reviewed in this paper. Features of the famous astronomical interferometers in the world and the technique development, especially, the new techniques such as the fiber technique and integrated optics are introduced. The work on optical interferometry and aperture synthesis developed by Chinese astronomical community is also presented.
