SAXO+, the second-stage adaptive optics for SPHERE: NCPA compensation and dark-hole loop with a pyramid wavefront sensor

Johan Mazoyer, Charles Goulas, Raphaël Galicher +21

The SAXO+ upgrade of the VLT/SPHERE adaptive optics system introduces a second-stage near-infrared pyramid wavefront sensor to improve high-contrast imaging, making accurate calibr…

Non-common path aberration compensation and a dark hole loop with a pyramid adaptive optics system: Application to SAXO+

C. Goulas, R. Galicher, F. Vidal +16

In ground-based high-contrast instruments, non-common path aberrations (NCPAs) limit detection performance, as they are unseen by the adaptive optics (AO) wavefront sensor but impa…

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…

Numerical simulations for the SAXO+ upgrade: Performance analysis of the adaptive optics system

Charles Goulas, Raphaël Galicher, Fabrice Vidal +16

SPHERE, operating at the VLT since 2014, is currently one of the high-contrast instruments with a higher performance. Its adaptive optics system, known as SAXO, will be upgraded to…

A correlation-locking adaptive filtering technique for minimum variance integral control in adaptive optics

Vincent Deo, Éric Gendron, Fabrice Vidal +6

We propose the Correlation-Locking Optimization SchEme (CLOSE), a real-time adaptive filtering technique for adaptive optics (AO) systems controlled with integrators. CLOSE leverag…

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…
