Pyramid wavefront sensor optical gains compensation using a convolutional model
Vincent Chambouleyron, Olivier Fauvarque, Pierre Janin-Potiron +5
Extremely Large Telescopes have overwhelmingly opted for the Pyramid wavefront sensor (PyWFS) over the more widely used Shack-Hartmann WaveFront Sensor (SHWFS) to perform their Sin…
Design of the HARMONI Pyramid WFS module
Noah Schwartz, Jean-François Sauvage, Edgard Renault +12
Current designs for all three extremely large telescopes show the overwhelming adoption of the pyramid wavefront sensor (P-WFS) as the WFS of choice for adaptive optics (AO) system…
Adaptive optics for multifocal plane microscopy
Benjamin Gore, Noah Schwartz, Paul Dalgarno
Multifocal plane microscopy (MUM) allows three dimensional objects to be imaged in a single camera frame. Our approach uses dual orthogonal diffraction phase gratings with a quadra…
Laboratory Demonstration of an Active Optics System for High-Resolution Deployable CubeSat
Noah Schwartz, David Pearson, Stephen Todd +8
In this paper we present HighRes: a laboratory demonstration of a 3U CubeSat with a deployable primary mirror that has the potential of achieving high-resolution imaging for Earth…
Sensing and control of segmented mirrors with a pyramid wavefront sensor in the presence of spiders
Noah Schwartz, Jean-François Sauvage, Carlos Correia +9
The segmentation of the telescope pupil (by spiders & the segmented M4) create areas of phase isolated by the width of the spiders on the wavefront sensor (WFS), breaking the spati…
The adaptive optics modes for HARMONI: from Classical to Laser Assisted Tomographic AO
B. Neichel, T. Fusco, J. -F. Sauvage +25
HARMONI is a visible and NIR integral field spectrograph, providing the E-ELT's core spectroscopic capability at first light. HARMONI will work at the diffraction limit of the E-EL…
