A Deep Reinforcement Learning Approach to Wavefront Control for Exoplanet Imaging
Yann Gutierrez, Johan Mazoyer, Olivier Herscovici-Schiller +3
Exoplanet imaging uses coronagraphs to block out the bright light from a star, allowing astronomers to observe the much fainter light from planets orbiting the star. However, these…

Upgrading SPHERE with the second stage AO system SAXO+: non-common path aberrations estimation and correction
Johan Mazoyer, Charles Goulas, Fabrice Vidal +16
SAXO+ is a planned enhancement of the existing SAXO, the VLT/ SPHERE adaptive optics system, deployed on ESO's Very Large Telescope. This upgrade is designed to significantly enhan…

Image-based wavefront correction using model-free Reinforcement Learning
Yann Gutierrez, Johan Mazoyer, Laurent M. Mugnier +2
Optical aberrations prevent telescopes from reaching their theoretical diffraction limit. Once estimated, these aberrations can be compensated for using deformable mirrors in a clo…
