To optimize a high contrast pyramid wavefront sensor for an ELT extreme adaptive optics system, we are developing the theoretical framework of a three-sided pyramid wavefront sensor (3PWFS). The 3PWFS should have a higher photon efficiency and therefore be more sensitive to wavefront aberrations than the traditional four-sided pyramid wavefront sensor (4PWFS) in the presence of noise. In this paper we present results from end-to-end simulations, and from test benches at the Laboratoire d’Astrophysique de Marseille, and the University of Arizona.","PeriodicalId":231205,"journal":{"name":"Adaptive Optics Systems VII","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128756641","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since the profile is changing over time, to maintain optimal correction the tomographic reconstructor must be continually updated with new profile information. Several reconstructor parameters must then be chosen to optimise performance given the constraints of real-time computing resources: the number of reconstructed layers, reoptimisation period and averaging time. We analyse the effect of changing these parameters by coupling fast Fourier-domain AO simulation with a large database of over 10,000 high resolution turbulence profiles measured by the Stereo-SCIDAR at Paranal.","PeriodicalId":231205,"journal":{"name":"Adaptive Optics Systems VII","volume":"os-16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127765394","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One approach to quantify these errors utilizes the imaging capabilities of a telescope’s instrument suite; quantification requires images that have observed the primary, therefore these images should be on-sky and AO-corrected in the absence of a source that views the primary. An image-based phase estimation technique that can potentially make this quantification is Phase Diversity, whereby focussed/defocussed images of a bright star are compared with models to estimate phase. Traditional use of this technique with on-sky images can be difficult due to atmospheric evolution between image pairs. This is further compounded due to both NCPA and the partial AO correction of phasing errors persisting in on-sky images. Here we propose a technique that can mitigate the atmospheric effects, estimate the NCPA and assess phasing errors under partial AO correction.","PeriodicalId":231205,"journal":{"name":"Adaptive Optics Systems VII","volume":"104 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132555905","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
