Interferometer representation.

Provides global instrument state and utility properties to keep the observing context in sync (e.g., recompute projected telescope positions or update photon flux when certain parameters change).

Parameters:

  • l (u.Quantity) – Array latitude (deg).

  • λ (u.Quantity) – Central wavelength (nm).

  • Δλ (u.Quantity) – Bandwidth (nm).

  • fov (u.Quantity) – Field of view (mas).

  • η (float) – Global optical efficiency (0..1).

  • telescopes (list[Telescope]) – Telescopes defining the geometry.

  • chip (Chip) – Photonic Chip.

  • camera (Camera) – Associated camera.

  • name (str, optional) – Instrument name.
