    ESPRESSO fiber-Link upgrade: III - alignment and integration activities
    The ESPRESSO spectrograph is a high resolution, super stable echelle cross-dispersed fibre-fed spectrograph, installed in the ESO-VLT Combined Coudé Laboratory of the ESO-VLT in Cerro Paranal. In the framework of the Fiber-Link (FL) recovery project, which was necessary to meet the throughput requirement of the instrument, we redesigned and build

    Fiber links for the WEAVE instrument: the making of
    The WEAVE instrument nearing completion for the William Herschel Telescope is a fiber-fed spectrograph operating in three different modes. Two comprise deployable fibers at the prime focus for point-like objects and small integral field units (IFU), the third is a large IFU placed at the center of the field. Three distinct fiber systems support

    Final assembly, metrology, and testing of the WEAVE fibre positioner
    WEAVE is the new wide-field spectroscopy facility for the prime focus of the William Herschel Telescope at La Palma, Spain. Its fibre positioner is essential for the accurate placement of the spectrograph's 960 fibre multiplex. We provide an overview of the final assembly and metrology of the fibre positioner, and results of lab commissioning of

    Freeform active mirror designed for additive manufacturing
    A possible answer to the challenge brought by the construction of the next generation 40 m-class telescopes was the case study of FAME (Freeform Active Mirror Experiment). As the new instruments typically increased in both volume and complexity, the use of highly aspherical freeform surfaces could be a great solution as these systems are built up

    H2020 opticon WP5 overview: investigating the use of additive manufacturing AM) for the design and build of multifunctional integrated astronomical components
    Additive manufacturing (AM) methods and post processing techniques are promising methodologies considering that it is now possible to print in a wide variety of materials using processes much refined from those originally available twenty years ago. To date the uptake of AM in Astronomy is relatively low compared to other application areas
