In-plane effects on segmented-mirror control.
Extremely large optical telescopes are being designed with primary mirrors composed of hundreds of segments. The "out-of-plane" piston, tip, and tilt degrees of freedom of each segment are actively controlled using feedback from relative height measurements between neighboring segments. The "in-plane" segment translations and clocking (rotation) are not actively controlled; however, in-plane mo...
متن کاملWind-induced deformations in a segmented mirror.
A Zernike expansion of wind-induced deformations in a segmented mirror is described. The wind model is a frozen turbulent field with a Kolmogorov spectrum for scales smaller than the outer scale and a flat spectrum for scales larger than the outer scale. The approach allows a mode-by-mode comparison of the wave-front error contributions from atmospheric phase distortions, wind-induced deformati...
متن کاملLyot Coronagraphy on Giant Segmented-mirror Telescopes
We present a study of Lyot style (i.e., classical, band-limited, and Gaussian occulter) coronagraphy on extremely large, highly-segmented telescopes. We show that while increased telescope diameter is always an advantage for high dynamic range science (assuming wavefront errors have been corrected sufficiently well), segmentation itself sets a limit on the performance of Lyot coronagraphs. Diff...
متن کاملDesign considerations for a highly segmented mirror.
Design issues for a 30-m highly segmented mirror are explored, with emphasis on parametric models of simple, inexpensive segments. A mirror with many small segments offers cost savings through quantity production and permits high-order active and adaptive wave-front corrections. For a 30-m f/1.5 paraboloidal mirror made of spherical, hexagonal glass segments, with simple warping harnesses and t...
متن کاملWavefront Control Algorithms and Analysis for a Dense Adaptive Optics System with Segmented Primary Mirror
This paper presents the development and analysis of a wavcfront control strategy for a dense adaptive optics systcm with segmented primary mirror. Systems of this type represent a substantial departure from most conventional adaptive optics systems in that the deformable clcmcnt is the segmented primary mirror and the fccdhack signal includes both the local wavefront tilt and the relative edge ...
