PLATO (PLAnetary Transits and Oscillations of stars) is ESA's M3 mission designed to detect and characterise extrasolar planets and perform asteroseismic monitoring of a large numb…
New developments on the Ingot WFS laboratory testing
Tânia Gomes Machado, Simone Di Filippo, Kalyan K. R. Santhakumari +16
The Ingot WFS was designed to overcome some of the challenges present in classical wavefront sensors when they deal with sodium LGSs. This innovative sensor works by sensing the fu…
Pupil plane WFSs for LGS systems of giant telescopes: the case of Ingot
Elisa Portaluri, Roberto Ragazzoni, Davide Greggio +9
The Ingot WFS belongs to a class of pupil-plane WFSs designed to address the challenges posed by Sodium Laser Guide Stars, and consists of a combination of refractive and reflectiv…
