A phase retrieval technique to measure and correct residual segment piston errors of large aperture optical telescopes

Astronomical Telescopes + Instrumentation, 2022
The success of the Keck telescopes’ segmented mirror technology provided a basis for the development of other large and extremely large telescopes. We investigate ways to optimize the performance of the segmented mirror telescope further to (1) take on ...

Lab tests of segment/petal phasing with a pyramid wavefront sensor and a holographic dispersed fringe sensor in turbulence with the Giant Magellan Telescope high contrast adaptive optics phasing testbed

Journal of Astronomical Telescopes Instruments and Systems, 2022
. The Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT) design consists of seven circular 8.4-m diameter mirrors, together forming a single 25.4-m diameter primary mirror. This large aperture and collecting area can help extreme adaptive optics (ExAO) systems such as GMT’s

Piston-tip-tilt mirror array in the wide field phasing testbed for the Giant Magellan Telescope

Astronomical Telescopes + Instrumentation, 2022
The Wide Field Phasing Testbed (WFPT) will be used to test phasing and active optics systems planned for the doubly segmented Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT). The testbed consists of a set of optical relays including segmented and deformable mirrors (DMs)

Differential piston sensing with LIFT: application to the GMT

Astronomical Telescopes + Instrumentation, 2022
The Giant Magellan Telescope’s primary and deformable secondary mirror are each composed of 7 segments. The Natural Guide Star (NGS) wavefront sensor has the critical task to keep these 7 segments in phase in addition to the classical Adaptive Optics (AO)

First lab results of segment/petal phasing with a pyramid wavefront sensor and a novel holographic dispersed fringe sensor (HDFS) from the Giant Magellan Telescope high contrast adaptive optics phasing testbed

Astronomical Telescopes + Instrumentation, 2022
The Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT) design consists of seven circular 8.4-m diameter mirror segments that are separated by large > 30 cm gaps, making them susceptible to fluctuations in optical path differences (piston) due to flexure, segment vibrations,

Study of the optical piston

Physical Review A, 1986
We report an experimental and theoretical study of the optical piston, a consequence of the phenomenon of light-induced drift (LID), observed in binary mixtures of Na vapor and a buffer gas. Good agreement has been found between experiment and existing theory as far as the shape of the Na density profile in the piston is concerned.
