Integrating deformable mirrors within the optical train of an adaptive telescope was one of the major innovations in astronomical observation technology, distinguished by its high optical throughput, reduced optical surfaces, and the incorporation of the

Adaptive Optics Correction of the Wavefront Distortions Induced by Segments Misalignment in Extremely Large Telescope [PDF]
The capability of the adaptive optics to correct for the segmentation error is analyzed in terms of the residual wavefront RMS and the power spectral density of the phase.

Visible near-diffraction limited lucky imaging with full-sky laser assisted adaptive optics [PDF]
Both lucky imaging techniques and adaptive optics require natural guide stars, limiting sky coverage, even when laser guide stars are used. Lucky imaging techniques become less successful on larger telescopes unless adaptive optics is used, as the fraction of images obtained with well behaved turbulence across the whole telescope pupil becomes ...

We present a new Point Diffraction Interferometer (PDI). Binary adaptive optics (BAO) and Quaternary Adaptive Optics (QAO) can be performed with the help of this PDI as a wavefront sensor. The PDI interferogram, once binarized, is used in two consecutive steps to produce a quaternary mask with phase values 0, π/2, π and 3π/2.

Compensated-beacon adaptive optics using least-squares phase reconstruction.
In this paper, we quantify the benefits of compensated-beacon adaptive optics (CBAO) relative to uncompensated-beacon adaptive optics (UBAO) using wave-optics simulations.

Stabilization of optical beams has always been a key factor affecting the performance of many optical systems. The Adaptive optics (AO) beam stabilization system requires further development to cope with increasingly complex application scenarios and ...

Fast Restoration of Aberration-Degraded Extended Object Based on Local Region Abstraction
The compensating capability of wavefront sensorless adaptive optics (WFSless AO) system for extended object images degraded by aberration is severely limited to correction speed due to largely sized images and low frame rate of camera.

Gemini MCAO Control System [PDF]
The Gemini Observatory is planning to implement a Multi Conjugate Adaptive Optics (MCAO) System as a facility instrument for the Gemini-South telescope. The system will include 5 Laser Guide Stars, 3 Natural Guide Stars, and 3 Deformable mirrors optically conjugated at different altitudes to achieve near-uniform atmospheric compensation over a 1 arc ...

Accurate Light Field Depth Estimation Using Multi-Orientation Partial Angular Coherence
Occlusion is a critical issue that affects the accuracy for light field depth estimation. In the presence of occlusions, the photo-consistency property is broken, making ambiguity near occlusion areas.
