Use of optical fibers in spectrophotometry.
Abstract
The author discusses the use of a single or small numbers of fibers in astronomical spectroscopy with the goal of achieving greater spectrophotometric and radial velocity accuracy. The properties of multimode step index fibers which are most important for this application are outlined as are the laboratory tests of currently useful commercially available fibers.
