A Near Infrared Beam Combiner for the LBT,

by H. -W. Rix and T. M Herbst

This 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.
