On-sky results of the adaptive optics MACAO for the new IR-spectrograph CRIRES at VLT [PDF]
The adaptive optics MACAO has been implemented in 6 focii of the VLT observatory, in three different flavors. We present in this paper the results obtained during the commissioning of the last of these units, MACAO-CRIRES.

A Global Decoupling Control Algorithm for LC-DM Adaptive Optics System
The liquid crystal (LC) and deformable mirror (DM) cascaded adaptive optics (AO) system can be used to effectively extend the imaging waveband of a large aperture telescope from the infrared to the visible waveband. However, to maintain the effectiveness

System theoretic tools in adaptive optics [PDF]
Adaptive Optics (AO) systems provide a real challenge to the control engineer in many respects, the foremost of which are scalability and computational complexity of the control algorithms. On the other hand, systems theoretic tools can be applied to look at several problems under new perspectives.

Reconstruction of wavefront distorted by atmospheric turbulence using a Shack-Hartman sensor [PDF]
The reconstruction of a wave front containing random phase distortions of the light field is considered. The reconstruction is performed by a Hartmann method based on the approximation of the wave function by Zernike polynomials using estimates of local ...

Large-scale wave-front reconstruction for adaptive optics systems by use of a recursive filtering algorithm [PDF]
We propose a new recursive filtering algorithm for wave-front reconstruction in a large-scale adaptive optics system. An embedding step is used in this recursive filtering algorithm to permit fast methods to be used for wave-front reconstruction on an ...

High-speed adaptive optics line scan confocal retinal imaging for human eye. [PDF]
PURPOSE:Continuous and rapid eye movement causes significant intraframe distortion in adaptive optics high resolution retinal imaging. To minimize this artifact, we developed a high speed adaptive optics line scan confocal retinal imaging system. METHODS:

PASSATA - Object oriented numerical simulation software for adaptive optics [PDF]
We present the last version of the PyrAmid Simulator Software for Adaptive opTics Arcetri (PASSATA), an IDL and CUDA based object oriented software developed in the Adaptive Optics group of the Arcetri observatory for Monte-Carlo end-to-end adaptive ...
