Astronomical adaptive optics: a review

PhotoniX
Since the concept of adaptive optics(AO) was proposed in 1953, AO has become an indispensable technology for large aperture ground-based optical telescopes aimed at high resolution observations.

Nanoengineered astronomical optics [PDF]

Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2003
We describe a technology for the fabrication of inexpensive and versatile mirrors through the use of a new type of nanoengineered optical material composed by the spreading of a self-assembling reflective colloidal film spread at the surface of a liquid.

An Optimal Integral Controller for Adaptive Optics Systems [PDF]

Sensors, 2023
Integral controllers are commonly employed in astronomical adaptive optics. This work presents a novel tuning procedure for integral controllers in adaptive optics systems which relies on information about the measured disturbances. This tuning procedure

Performance Calibration of the Wavefront Sensor’s EMCCD Detector for the Cool Planets Imaging Coronagraph Aboard CSST [PDF]

Journal of Imaging
The wavefront sensor (WFS), equipped with an electron-multiplying charge-coupled device (EMCCD) detector, is a critical component of the Cool Planets Imaging Coronagraph (CPI-C) on the Chinese Space Station Survey Telescope (CSST). Precise calibration of

Astronomical Adaptive Optics

Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2015
Adaptive optics is now a fully mature technique to improve the angular resolution of observations taken with ground-based astronomical telescopes. It is available at most of the major optical/IR observatories, and is planned as an integral part of the Extremely Large Telescope next generation facilities. In this mini-review aimed at non-AO specialists,
