Abstract

The goal of the CHara ARray Integrated Optics Testbench (CHARIOT) is to establish a fully characterized (nulling) interferometry setup for on-sky tests of novel astrophotonic 2D or 3D beam combiners for the interferometry community worldwide. CHARIOT is planned for four telescope beams covering the J-, H-, and K-bands with plug-and-play fiber interfaces. Verifying novel astrophotonics on-sky with CHARIOT will enable the development of components and advances in instruments in many fields, including nulling and spectro-interferometry.
