研究目的
Investigating the feasibility of a pseudo-synthetic calibration strategy for adaptive telescopes with pyramid wavefront sensors (WFS) to address the challenges of calibrating large deformable mirrors (DM) without access to an artificial calibration source and the evolution of optical propagation between DM and WFS during operation.
研究成果
The pseudo-synthetic calibration strategy with pyramid WFS has been successfully validated at the LBT, demonstrating the feasibility of generating high-accuracy, noise-free interaction matrices by estimating and compensating for misregistrations between the DM and WFS. This approach provides a slightly better performance than experimental calibration and is particularly suited for future ELTs, where regular calibration updates will be necessary for systems with a large number of actuators.
研究不足
The study is limited to the validation of the pseudo-synthetic calibration strategy at the LBT with a pyramid WFS. The impact of imperfect illumination and other experimental features not considered in the model on the calibration accuracy remains to be investigated. Additionally, the feasibility of this approach for future Extremely Large Telescopes (ELT) with more actuators and under different seeing conditions requires further study.
