Abstract

This paper is one of a three-part series of papers on photonics-based mid-IR interferometry. Here, we put the emphasis on the challenges of operating integrated optics over a broad wavelength range, a natural condition in the field of Astrophysics. We report on the recent advancements made in obtaining high interferometric contrast (> 90%) through 2-telescope combiners in the mid-IR and give an outlook on more advanced functions and 4-telescope combiners.
