Towards understanding interactions between the AO system and segment co-phasing with the vector-Zernike wavefront sensor on Keck
Maïssa Salama, Charlotte Guthery, Vincent Chambouleyron +14
We extend our previous demonstration of the first on-sky primary mirror segment closed-loop control on Keck using a vector-Zernike wavefront sensor (vZWFS), which improved the Stre…
The high-contrast performance of the Keck Planet Imager and Characterizer
Jason J. Wang, Dimitri Mawet, Jerry W. Xuan +25
The Keck Planet Imager and Characterizer (KPIC), a series of upgrades to the Keck II Adaptive Optics System and Instrument Suite, aims to demonstrate high-resolution spectroscopy o…
Keck Primary Mirror Closed-Loop Segment Control using a Vector-Zernike Wavefront Sensor
Maissa Salama, Charlotte Guthery, Vincent Chambouleyron +17
We present the first on-sky segmented primary mirror closed-loop piston control using a Zernike wavefront sensor (ZWFS) installed on the Keck II telescope. Segment co-phasing error…
Efficient ultra-broadband low-resolution astrophotonic spectrographs
Pradip Gatkine, Greg Sercel, Nemanja Jovanovic +9
Broadband low-resolution near-infrared spectrographs in a compact form are crucial for ground- and space-based astronomy and other fields of sensing. Astronomical spectroscopy pose…
Thermal control of long delay lines in a high-resolution astrophotonic spectrograph
Gregory P. Sercel, Pradip R. Gatkine, Nemanja Jovanovic +4
High-resolution astronomical spectroscopy carried out with a photonic Fourier transform spectrograph (FTS) requires long asymmetrical optical delay lines that can be dynamically tu…
The path to detecting extraterrestrial life with astrophotonics
Nemanja Jovanovic, Yinzi Xin, Michael P. Fitzgerald +20
Astrophysical research into exoplanets has delivered thousands of confirmed planets orbiting distant stars. These planets span a wide ranges of size and composition, with diversity…
On-sky reconstruction of Keck Primary Mirror Piston Offsets using a Zernike Wavefront Sensor
Maaike A. M. van Kooten, Sam Ragland, Rebecca Jensen-Clem +3
The next generation of large ground- and space-based optical telescopes will have segmented primary mirrors. Co-phasing the segments requires a sensitive wavefront sensor capable o…
