Experimentally-determined performance limits for joint imaging and wavefront sensing with a photonic lantern
Aditya R. Sengupta, Vincent Chambouleyron, Rebecca Jensen-Clem +16
The photonic lantern (PL) is a focal-plane wavefront sensor (WFS) that can be used for second-stage control of extreme adaptive optics (AO) systems. While the number of sensed mode…
