Single-wavelength coarse phasing in segmented telescopes.
Space observations of fainter and more distant astronomical objects constantly require telescope primary mirrors with larger sizes. The diameters of monolithic primary mirrors are restricted to 10 m because of manufacturing limitations. For space telescopes, the primary mirrors are limited to less than 5 m due to fairing capacity. Segmented primary mirrors thus constitute an alternative solutio...
متن کاملMach-zehnder Wavefront Sensor for Phasing of Segmented Telescopes
Segmented mirror technology has been successfully applied to 10m class telescopes (Keck, HET, GTC) and is widely recognized as mandatory for Extremely Large Telescopes. For optimal performance the wavefront error associated with segmentation should remain within conservative limits, typically 1/20 of a wave. Several phasing techniques and associated metrologies are under development, with a vie...
متن کاملOn-sky multiwavelength phasing of segmented telescopes with the Zernike phase contrast sensor.
Future extremely large telescopes will adopt segmented primary mirrors with several hundreds of segments. Cophasing of the segments together is essential to reach high wavefront quality. The phasing sensor must be able to maintain very high phasing accuracy during the observations, while being able to phase segments dephased by several micrometers. The Zernike phase contrast sensor has been dem...
متن کاملA Digital Holographic Approach for Co-Phasing of Segmented Telescopes: Proof of Concept Using Numerical Simulations
Online co-phasing of segmented telescopes by dual-wavelength digital holography is proposed. Two digital holograms (one hologram per wavelength) are employed to get the phase of the segmented telescope for a longer synthetic wavelength by the digital holographic approach. The holograms are recorded by a high-speed CCD camera using the point-diffraction Mach-Zehnder interferometer. By fitting th...
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...
