Paper Abstract
We present in this paper the status of the calibration unit for the interferometric infrared imager LINC-NIRVANA
that will be installed on the Large Binocular Telescope, Arizona. LINC-NIRVANA will combine high angular
resolution (~10 mas in J), and wide field-of-view (up to 2'×2') thanks to the conjunct use of interferometry
and MCAO. The goal of the calibration unit is to provide calibration tools for the different sub-systems of the
instrument. We give an overview of the different tasks that are foreseen as well as of the preliminary detailed
design. We show some interferometric results obtained with specific fiber splitters optimized for LINC-NIRVANA.
The different components of the calibration unit will be used either during the integration phase on site, or during
the science exploitation phase of the instrument.
