What could KIDSpec, a new MKID spectrograph, do on the ELT?
V. Benedict Hofmann, Kieran O'Brien, Deli Geng
Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors (MKIDs) are beginning to become more prominent in astronomical instrumentation, due to their sensitivity, low noise, high pixel count for sup…
Experience with wavefront sensor and deformable mirror interfaces for wide-field adaptive optics systems
A. G. Basden, D. Atkinson, N. A. Bharmal +56
Recent advances in adaptive optics (AO) have led to the implementation of wide field-of-view AO systems. A number of wide-field AO systems are also planned for the forthcoming Extr…
The Durham adaptive optics real-time controller
Alastair Basden, Deli Geng, Richard Myers +1
The Durham adaptive optics real-time controller was initially a proof of concept design for a generic adaptive optics control system. It has since been developed into a modern and…
Shack-Hartmann sensor improvement using optical binning
Alastair Basden, Deli Geng, Dani Guzman +3
We present a design improvement for a recently proposed type of Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor that uses a cylindrical (lenticular) lenslet array. The improved sensor design uses…
Acceleration of adaptive optics simulations using programmable logic
A. G. Basden, F. Assemat, T. Butterley +3
Numerical Simulation is an essential part of the design and optimisation of astronomical adaptive optics systems. Simulations of adaptive optics are computationally expensive and t…
