  1. Curvature Wavefront Sensor Arbitrary Waveform Generator Kenyan Kawauchi Subaru Telescope (NAOJ) Mentor: Stephen Colley

  2. Subaru Adaptive Optics Without AO With AO Earth’s atmosphere distorts light Removes effects of atmospheric distortion Telescope images blurred Image resolution improved

  3. AO System Components

  4. Wavefront Sensor Visible light reflects off one side of membrane APDs count photons in each lenslet Measure light intensity Calculate wavefront phase shift

  5. What vibrates membrane? Other side of membrane

  6. Problem

  7. Solution • Design your own AWG! • Use DAC40 board • Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) • Digital-to-Analog Converters (DACs)

  8. AWG Specification • Range of period – 100 Hz to 4 kHz • Number of points – 1000 • Voltage resolution – 14 bits (DAC40 DACs) • Update rate for new waveforms – 0.1 seconds (10 Hz) Voltage Amplitude Time

  9. Logic Block Diagram AWG Timing Memory A B

  10. Implement using Quartus II

  11. Design Flow Design Entry (VHDL) Compilation Simulation Program Device

  12. Simulate Design Design Entry (VHDL) Compilation Simulation Program Device

  13. Conclusion Dual-stroke waveform concept • Efficient – Only 1 wavefront sensor • Astronomical objects appear 2.5X brighter In the Future • Interface DAC40 to oscilloscope • Test AWG • Implement in next generation AO system
