标题： Mid-infrared guided optics: a perspective for astronomical instruments

摘要： 过去十年的研究活动表明，光子器件具有极大简化地面和空间天文仪器并提高其性能的潜力。 我们特别关注中红外波段（约5-20微米），该光谱范围可探测温热天体（约300K）以及可以解释为生物活动标志的光谱特征（例如水、臭氧、二氧化碳）。 我们回顾了旨在开发单模导光学器件及其相应制造技术的相关研究活动。 我们评估了实验所达到的性能，并将其与天文学各领域应用的性能需求进行比较。 我们的目标是展示基于中红外光子器件未来天文仪器的发展前景。 显示英文摘要

摘要： Research activities during the last decade have shown the strong potential of photonic devices to greatly simplify ground based and space borne astronomical instruments and to improve their performance. We focus specifically on the mid-infrared wavelength regime (about 5-20 microns), a spectral range offering access to warm objects (about 300 K) and to spectral features that can be interpreted as signatures for biological activity (e.g. water, ozone, carbon dioxide). We review the relevant research activities aiming at the development of single-mode guided optics and the corresponding manufacturing technologies. We evaluate the experimentally achieved performance and compare it with the performance requirements for applications in various fields of astronomy. Our goal is to show a perspective for future astronomical instruments based on mid-infrared photonic devices.
