Model-based wavefront control for CCAT [PDF]
SPIE Proceedings, 2011 The 25-m aperture CCAT submillimeter-wave telescope will have a primary mirror that is divided into 162 individual segments, each of which is provided with 3 positioning actuators. CCAT will be equipped with innovative Imaging Displacement Sensors (IDS) - inexpensive optical edge sensors - capable of accurately measuring all segment relative motions.
