Abstract

This paper reports the implementation and test of an end-to- end imaging demonstrator aimed at validating the concept of optical silica fiber use in high-resolution aperture synthesis in astronomy. As the coherent transport of light has already been conclusively investigated, this work is essentially focused on the accuracy and reliability of the experimental data acquisition and image reconstruction. In the framework of the ESA project `Optical Aperture Synthesis Technologies', the telescope array complexity was minimized in order to propose a realistic concept for a future space mission. In the image reconstruction process, the corresponding weak-phase information is dealt by using an algorithm recently presented in the literature `Self- calibrated WIPE.'
