Paper Abstract
The Precision Astronomical Visible Observations (PAVO) beam combiner is a new concept in visible beam
combination, recently commissioned at the CHARA array. By creating spatially-modulated fringes in a pupil
plane and then dispersing with an integral field unit, PAVO utilizes the full multi-r0 aperture of the CHARA
array over a standard 50% (630-950nm) bandwidth. In addition, minimal optimized spatial filtering ensures
calibration that is in principle as good as using single-mode fibers. We describe the design of and initial results
from the PAVO instrument.
