Multi-Object Curvature waVefront Sensor (MOCVS) B. Femenía (GTC, Spain) J. Castro (GTC, Spain) N. Devaney (Univ. Galway, Ireland) Leiden. April 26-29, 2005
Motivation Benefit from optical co-addition from several NGS.
How this works....(1/3) 1-Record defocused pupil images
How this works....(2/3) 2-Reconstruct on-axis defocused pupils. Assume prior knowledge of object distribution
Cf standard curvature PDE How this works.... (3/3) 3-Solve PDE obtained by assuming ITE
Wavefront Reconstruction Average result: SR=0.70 ± 0.12 Standard Case: SR=0.79 ± 0.13
Useful for: • Layer Oriented MCAO • Ground Layer AO Benefits of MOCVS are: Light is split into 2 planes (3 planes in MCAO) Extremely simple to implement A side product is how to implement Curvature Wavefront sensing with CCDs without additional optics (i.e. Keystone lenslets).
