Abstract
The Habitable-zone Planet Finder (HPF) is a highly stabilized fiber fed precision radial velocity (RV) spec- trograph working in the Near Infrared (NIR): 810 – 1280 nm. In this paper we present an overview of the preparation of the optical fibers for HPF. The entire fiber train from the telescope focus down to the cryostat is detailed. We also discuss the fiber polishing, splicing and its integration into the instrument using a fused silica puck. HPF was designed to be able to operate in two modes, High Resolution (HR- the only mode mode currently commissioned) and High Efficiency (HE). We discuss these fiber heads and the procedure we adopted to attach the slit on to the HR fibers.
