On-sky results from REDWOODS, a platform at Lick/ShaneAO for testing second stage AO technologies
Benjamin L. Gerard, Dominic F. Sanchez, Aditya R. Sengupta +11
REDWOODS is a new sub-testbed within the Shane Adaptive Optics (AO) system at Lick observatory, developed to test second stage AO wavefront sensing and control technologies, includ…
On-sky demonstration of second-stage wavefront control with a photonic lantern
Aditya R. Sengupta, Jordan Diaz, Matthew DeMartino +14
Ground-based direct imaging of exoplanets at high contrast requires precise correction of atmospheric turbulence using adaptive optics (AO). The planet-to-star contrast ratio at sm…
Developments on LLNL's high contrast testbed and Lick/ShaneAO
Benjamin L. Gerard, Dominic F. Sanchez, Aditya R. Sengupta +15
LLNL has recently setup a High Contrast Testbed (HCT) for AO and exoplanet imaging technology development. We present the various HCT technologies currently under development, incl…
Opto-Mechanical Design of ShaneAO: the Adaptive Optics System for the 3-meter Shane Telescope
Christopher Ratliff, Jerry Cabak, Donald Gavel +8
A Cassegrain mounted adaptive optics instrument presents unique challenges for opto-mechanical design. The flexure and temperature tolerances for stability are tighter than those o…
