The Application of Optical Fibre Technology to Schmidt Telescopes
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
The potential of the Schmidt optical system, when combined with optical fibres and linear detectors, is assessed. Recent work on the use of optical fibres at the U.K. Schmidt Telescope is described together with anticipated developments. In conclusion, there is a speculative consideration of the construction of a large, altazimuth Schmidt telescope (LAST).
