单模光纤已被提议用于连接望远镜到用于图像合成的相干望远镜阵列中的混合站。我们描述了一个激光控制的伺服系统，保持光纤的长度差异稳定，并允许通过宽带天文光束从无限数量的望远镜。初步实验室结果。
Single-mode fibers have been proposed for connecting telescopes to mixing stations in coherent telescope arrays intended for image synthesis. We describe a laser-controlled servosystem that keeps the fiber-optical length differences stable and permits passage of wide-bandwidth astronomical beams from an unlimited number of telescopes. Initial laboratory results are presented.
