Ground-layer Wave Front Reconstruction from Multiple Natural Guide Stars
Observational tests of open-loop ground-layer wave front recovery have been made using a constellation of four natural guide stars at the 1.55 m Kuiper telescope in Arizona. Such tests explore the effectiveness of wide-field seeing improvement by correction of low-lying atmospheric turbulence with ground-layer adaptive optics (GLAO). The wave fronts from the four stars were measured simultaneou...
متن کاملRadio Sources near Bright Natural Guide Stars
We present a preliminary survey of 58 radio sources within the isoplanatic patches (r < 25′′) of bright (11 < R < 12) stars suitable for use as natural guide stars with high-order adaptive optics (AO). An optical and near-infrared imaging survey was conducted utilizing tip-tilt corrections in the optical and AO in the near-infrared. Spectral Energy Distributions (SEDs) were fit to the multiband...
متن کاملAlgebraic reconstruction of a small-scale wave front.
We show that a small-scale wave front can be reconstructed by an algebraic procedure from its intensity distribution in the focal plane, except for the ambiguities of the piston phase and the point-symmetrical solution of the complex conjugate. Details of the reconstruction procedure for a 3 x 3 wave front are presented, and the effectiveness of this procedure for a contaminated case is shown b...
متن کاملAnti-aliasing wave-front reconstruction with Shack-Hartmann sensors
The discrete sampling of a wave-front using a Shack-Hartmann sensor limits the maximum spatial frequency we can measure and impacts sensitivity to frequencies at the high end of the correction band due to aliasing. Here we present Wiener filters for wave-front reconstruction in the spatial-frequency domain, ideally suited for systems with a high number of degrees of freedom. We develop a theore...
متن کاملSplit atmospheric tomography using laser and natural guide stars.
Laser guide star (LGS) atmospheric tomography is described in the literature as integrated minimum-variance tomographic wavefront reconstruction from a concatenated wavefront-sensor measurement vector consisting of many high-order, tip/tilt (TT)-removed LGS measurements, supplemented by a few low-order natural guide star (NGS) components essential to estimating the TT and tilt anisoplanatism (T...
