On-sky demonstration of a vector Zernike wavefront sensor in a cascaded adaptive optics system

M. Motte, V. Chambouleyron, R. Fétick +13

To directly image and characterise Earth-like exoplanets, future high-contrast instruments will require adaptive-optics systems operating at increasingly high loop frequencies to r…

Closing the loop on-sky with a vector-Zernike wavefront sensor using a convolutional neural network as phase reconstructor

Francisco Oyarzún, Mathieu Motte, Cedric-Taissir Heritier +11

Context: The new giant segmented mirror telescopes will use adaptive optics to reach the fundamental limits in resolving power. To accomplish this, new wavefront sensors (WFS) have…

Cassiopee: Defining the next-generation deformable mirror and high-speed SWIR camera for adaptive optics applications

B. Neichel, T. Fusco, F. Oyarzun +14

Future adaptive optics (AO) systems for astronomy, optical communications, space situational awareness, and laser-based defense require a new generation of components operating at…

DM/WFS mis-registration tracking: Implementation and on-sky validation of SPRINT at LBT

Ben Buky, Cédric Taïssir Héritier, Fabio Rossi +7

The advent of telescopes with an integrated deformable mirror (DM) presents new challenges for adaptive optics (AO) systems. The alignment between the DM and wavefront sensor (WFS)…

Impact of microlens shape on the performance of Laser Guide Star wavefront sensors for ELT-class telescopes

Paul Rouquette, Benoit Neichel, Cédric Taisir Heritierc +4

Laser Guide Star (LGS) adaptive optics systems on extremely large telescopes (ELTs) rely on Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensors (SHWFS) equipped with large-format microlens arrays. Ma…

Towards an Extended VLTI: Turbulence Characterization for Kilometer-Scale Optical Links at Paranal

B. Neichel, T. Pichon, G. Bourdarot +10

Future extensions of the VLTI aim to push infrared interferometry toward kilometer scale baselines, enabling angular resolutions of a few tens of micro-arcseconds. A first step wou…
