Integrated coronagraphy and wavefront sensing with the PIAACMC [PDF]
Uncorrected wavefront errors create speckle noise in high-contrast observations at small inner-working angles. These speckles can be sensed and controlled by using coronagraph integrated wavefront sensors. Here, we will present how the Phase Induced Amplitude Apodized Complex Mask Corongraph (PIAACMC) can be integrated with both a Self-Coherent Camera (

Tracking Length and Differential-Wavefront-Sensing Signals from Quadrant Photodiodes in Heterodyne Interferometers with Digital Phase-Locked-Loop Readout [PDF]
We propose a new method to track signals from quadrant photodiodes (QPD) in heterodyne interferometers that employ digital phase-locked loops for phase readout.

On-sky verification of Fast and Furious focal-plane wavefront sensing: Moving forward toward controlling the island effect at Subaru/SCExAO [PDF]
Context. High-contrast imaging (HCI) observations of exoplanets can be limited by the island effect (IE). The IE occurs when the main wavefront sensor (WFS) cannot measure sharp phase discontinuities across the telescope’s secondary mirror support ...

Using the generalised-optical differentiation wavefront sensor for laser guide star wavefront sensing [PDF]
Laser guide stars (LGS) are used in many adaptive optics systems to extend sky coverage. The most common wavefront sensor used in combination with a LGS is a Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor (SHWFS). The Shack-Hartmann has a major disadvantage for extended source wavefront sensing because it directly samples the image.

Differential wavefront sensing and control using radio-frequency optical demodulation [PDF]
Differential wavefront sensing is an essential technique for optimising the performance of many precision interferometric experiments. Perhaps the most extensive application of this is for alignment sensing using radio-frequency beats measured with quadrant photodiodes.

Focal-plane wavefront sensing with photonic lanterns I: theoretical framework [PDF]
The photonic lantern (PL) is a tapered waveguide that can efficiently couple light into multiple single-mode optical fibers. Such devices are currently being considered for a number of tasks, including the coupling of telescopes and high-resolution ...
