Problem

Light is directed to the wavefront sensor (WFS) which produces the measurements s = Qφ. Problem: given the measurements s, reconstruct the unknown distorted wavefront φ. And ... Credit: Wiki

eXtreme Adaptive Optics (XAO)

One of the four subprojects Application - direct imaging of extrasolar planets Extremely difficult because of the overwhelming light from the nearby star (sun) Artist’s impression. Credit: ESO Specifications: Deformable mirror and WFS with 200 × 200 subapertures Pyramid WFS, non-modulated and modulated Frequency of AO loop 3KHz Speed requirement: reconstruction time 0.3ms, to be faster than MVM Quality requirement: Strehl ratio 96% (typical measure in astronomy)
