A low-cost, high-speed, very high-order Shack-Hartmann sensor for testing TMT deformable mirrors

A low-cost, high-speed, very high-order Shack-Hartmann sensor for testing TMT deformable mirrors

The Thirty Meter Telescope will use a sophisticated adaptive optics system called NFIRAOS. This system utilizes two deformable mirrors conjugate to 0 km and 11.2 km to apply a Multi-Conjugate Adaptive Optics (MCAO) correction over a 2 arcminute field of view. DM0 and DM11 have 63 and 75 actuators across …
