• t is wri en at appro imatel fnal ear undergraduate level, and provides a sound introducton to the feld suitable or both students and researchers coming to the feld or the frst tme. t bridges the gap between standards te tbooks on traditonal astronomical instruments and more advanced treatses on photonics • n additon, it describes the state o the art in the feld, describing current instruments, those under development, and directons or uture research

Descripton

Astrophotonics is the applicaton of photonics to astronomical instrumentaton. This rapidl developing feld is a new approach to instrumentaton in which the bulk optcs o traditonal instruments, such as lenses, mirrors, and di racton gratngs are replaced with devices embedded within waveguides. his enables instruments that are smaller, modular, more stable, and most e citngl , with optcal capabilites not possible with traditonal instruments.

strophotonics has reached a stage o development where man protot pe devices are now being tested on sk , and the frst ull edged instruments incorporatng photonic devices are now being used or observatons. he feld is thus transitoning rom one o instrumental research and development to mainstream observatonal astroph sics.

his is the frst book ocussed on astrophotonics, wri en b three e perts in the feld. eginning with a sound introducton to the basic principles o astrophotonics, it is intended to communicate the current status, potental, and uture possibilites o astrophotonics to the wider astronomical, optcs and photonics communites.

Authors

Simon Ellis is an ssociate Pro essor at ac uarie Universit where he is the head o the nstrument Science Group, which is responsible or research and development in astronomical instrumentaton and technologies. He has over 20 ears e perience o research in astronom and astroph sics, including instrumentaton research and development, the evoluton o gala ies and clusters o gala ies, and the astroph sics o positronium. He has pla ed a leading role in the development o astrophotonics, most notabl in the feld o H suppression. He was the commissioning scientst or the world s frst two instruments to use fbre ragg gratngs or H suppression. He is currentl leading the development o this technolog or use on the European Southern bservator s er Large elescope. He has published oundatonal papers in the use o silicon photonics or astronom .

Joss Bland-Hawthorn is a Laureate Pro essor o Ph sics, and irector o the S dne nsttute or stronom , he Universit o S dne . He has more than 30 ears e perience in astroph sics and astronomical instrumentaton. n 2000, he ounded the feld o astrophotonics, now a ma or subfeld o photonics. With irks imoth irks and Sergio Leon Saval he developed (and named) the photonic lantern, a device that is fnding wider use in science and industr .

Sergio Leon-Saval is an ssociate Pro essor at the School o Ph sics in he Universit o S dne where he is now irector o the S dne strophotonics nstrumentaton Laborator (S L), and eput irector o the nsttute o Photonics and ptcal Science ( P S). He has more than 6 ears o e perience in the research area o photonics, and made breakthrough contributons in the felds o specialt optcal fbres and astrophotonics, including the co inventon and pioneering the development o the photonic lantern technolog , a corner stone o astrophotonics. He has published over 85 internatonal re ereed ournal papers and more than 90 con erence proceedings papers since 2004 with over 7400 citatons, and an h inde o 42. Pro Leon Saval has been a member o technical program and management commi ees on more than 0 internatonal con erences.

Descripton

Wazir Jahan engages the reader in absorbing stories from her childhood to retrement against a backdrop of events in Malaysia — cultural, academic and politcal — which elucidates the complexites of being a Muslim feminist, in a divisive Asian society. Her narratve demonstrates that each woman can success ull negotate the boundaries between patriarch , amil and modernit i the believe that being a woman is s non mous with being a eminist that insttutons which obstruct women s path to reedom can be challenged through recognising the power o individualism. ahan believes that once a woman understands what can work well or her, within the limitatons o her own achievements and resources, she could be able to rise above these intmidatons o li e and actvel engage in pursuing her dreams. or ahan, emininit and eminism are complementar orms o actvism which enabled her to gain acceptance and legitmac or her work with disadvantaged and minorit women. Her rank and re reshing con essions o success and ailures in her work on women and gender demonstrates confdence, individualit and charisma a catharsis in the ourne to discovering the power o womanhood.
