Super Resolved Imaging with Adaptive Optics
Robin Swanson, Esther Y. H. Lin, Masen Lamb +2
Astronomical telescopes suffer from a tradeoff between field of view (FoV) and image resolution: increasing the FoV leads to an optical field that is under-sampled by the science c…
Closed Loop Predictive Control of Adaptive Optics Systems with Convolutional Neural Networks
Robin Swanson, Masen Lamb, Carlos Correia +2
Predictive wavefront control is an important and rapidly developing field of adaptive optics (AO). Through the prediction of future wavefront effects, the inherent AO system servo-…
ESCAPE: Efficient Synthesis of Calibrations for Adaptive optics through Pseudo-synthetic and Empirical methods
Jacob Taylor, Robin Swanson, Parker Levesque +6
With the commissioning of the refurbished adaptive secondary mirror (ASM) for the 6.5-meter MMT Observatory under way, special consideration had to be made to properly calibrate th…
The MAPS Adaptive Secondary Mirror: First Light, Laboratory Work, and Achievements
Jess A. Johnson, Amali Vaz, Manny Montoya +23
The MMT Adaptive Optics exoPlanet Characterization System (MAPS) is a comprehensive update to the first generation MMT adaptive optics system (MMTAO), designed to produce a facilit…
A Near-Infrared Pyramid Wavefront Sensor for the MMT
Jacob Taylor, Suresh Sivanandam, Narsireddy Anugu +8
The MMTO Adaptive optics exoPlanet characterization System (MAPS) is an ongoing upgrade to the 6.5-meter MMT Observatory on Mount Hopkins in Arizona. MAPS includes an upgraded adap…
Simultaneous estimation of segmented telescope phasing errors and non-common path aberrations from adaptive optics corrected images
Masen Lamb, Carlos Correia, Suresh Sivanandam +2
We investigate the focal plane wavefront sensing technique, known as Phase Diversity, at the scientific focal plane of a segmented mirror telescope with an adaptive optics (AO) sys…
