Technology for Future Interferometric Facilities: Conclusions and Perspectives
Proceedings of the European Interferometry Initiative Workshop organized in the context of the 20005 Joint European and National Astronomy Meeting "Distant Worlds"
Abstract
The science case for a future large optical / infrared interferometer is strong. The prospects for such a facility depend critically on a number of key technologies, including optical fibers with low transmission losses and very small dispersion, and affordable telescopes with sizeable apertures. The overall array and instrument design, and the choice of a suitable site play equally important roles. Addressing these issues in the context of a systematic technology roadmap will be an important step towards the realization of a large interferometric array.
