AOtools -- a Python package for adaptive optics modelling and analysis
M. J. Townson, O. J. D. Farley, G. Orban de Xivry +2
AOtools is a Python package which is open-source and aimed at providing tools for adaptive optics users and researchers. We present version 1.0 which contains tools for adaptive op…
Identifying optical turbulence profiles for realistic tomographic error in adaptive optics
O. J. D. Farley, J. Osborn, T. Morris +4
For extremely large telescopes, adaptive optics will be required to correct the Earth's turbulent atmosphere. The performance of tomographic adaptive optics is strongly dependent o…
Efficient implementation of pseudo open loop control for adaptive optics on Extremely Large Telescopes
Alastair Basden, David Jenkins, Tim Morris +2
Closed-loop adaptive optics systems which use minimum mean square error wavefront reconstruction require the computation of pseudo open loop wavefront slopes. These techniques inco…
Optimizing the accuracy and efficiency of optical turbulence profiling using adaptive optics telemetry for extremely large telescopes
Douglas J Laidlaw, James Osborn, Timothy J Morris +8
Advanced adaptive optics (AO) instruments on ground-based telescopes require accurate knowledge of the atmospheric turbulence strength as a function of altitude. This information a…
