Alternative pyramid wavefront sensors [PDF]

Journal of Astronomical Telescopes, Instruments, and Systems, 2017
The feasibility of a lenslet-based pyramid wavefront sensor (L-PWFS) and a double roof prism-based PWFS (DR-PWFS) as alternatives to a classical PWFS are investigated in this work. Traditional PWFSs require shallow angles and strict apex tolerances, making them difficult to manufacture. Lenslet arrays and roof prisms, on the other hand, are both common

Recovering pyramid WS gain in non-common path aberration correction mode via deformable lens

, 2017
It is by now well known that pyramid based wavefront sensors, once in closed loop, have the capability to improve more and more the gain as the reference natural star image size is getting smaller on the pyramid pin. Especially in extreme adaptive optics

Tunable Multifunctional Terahertz Coding Metasurface for Polarization Manipulation

Advanced Photonics Research, EarlyView.
Coding metasurfaces (CMs) offer versatile control over electromagnetic waves. Herein, a tunable multifunctional terahertz (THz) metasurface integrated with vanadium dioxide (VO2) is presented, enabling propagation‐phase manipulation of linearly polarized waves and hybrid‐phase control of circularly polarized waves.

A Multi-Deformable-Mirror 500 Hz Adaptive Optical System for Atmospheric Turbulence Simulation, Real-Time Reconstruction, and Wavefront Correction Using Bimorph and Tip-Tilt Correctors

Photonics
Atmospheric turbulence introduces distortions to the wavefront of propagating optical radiation. It causes image resolution degradation in astronomical telescopes and significantly reduces the power density of radiation on the target in focusing ...

Wavefront sensing with a brightest pixel selection algorithm

, 2011
Astronomical adaptive optics systems with open-loop deformable mirror control have recently come on-line. In these systems, the deformable mirror surface is not included in the wavefront sensor paths, and so changes made to the deformable mirror are not ...

Terahertz Chiral Recognition Based on Metasurfaces

Advanced Photonics Research, EarlyView.
A novel terahertz chiral sensing method based on a multilayer metallic metasurface is proposed. The left‐handed circularly polarized and right‐handed circularly polarized components in the linearly polarized illuminating light into two focal points and convert them back into linear polarization for convenient measurement.
