摘要
Instrumentation concepts with many thousands of multi-mode optical fibres are now being proposed in response to the science community's request for highly multiplexed instruments. Such instruments will require a fibre connector system that can deliver excellent optical performance and reliability. We report on the viability of commercially available fibre connectors for use in current and future multimode optical fibre based astronomical instrumentation. Two of the most promising multi-way fibre connectors were investigated and their optical performance characterised. We outline the two fibre connector technologies and report on the characterisation of their focal ratio degradation, throughput and wavelength fringing performance.
