A Near Infrared Beam Combiner for the LBT,by H. -W. Rix and T. M HerbstThis is the original proposal we submitted to the LBT Project in September 1998 in response to the Level II call for in-kind instrument contributions. Our technical ideas have evolved considerably in the interim, but this document is still interesting for the science case it lays out. |
