Active deployable primary mirrors on CubeSat
Noah Schwartz, Maria Milanova, William Brzozowski +9
The volume available on small satellites restricts the size of optical apertures to a few centimetres, limiting the Ground-Sampling Distance (GSD) in the visible to typically 3 m a…
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…
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…
