Title: | Self-Tuning Mechanism for the Design of Adaptive Secondary Mirror Position Control | Authors: | Battistelli, Giorgio Mari, Daniele RICCARDI, Armando Tesi, Pietro |
Issue Date: | 2015 | Journal: | IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON CONTROL SYSTEMS TECHNOLOGY | Number: | 23 | Issue: | 6 | First Page: | 2087 | Abstract: | Deformable mirrors (DMs) are electromechanical devices used in ground-based telescopes to compensate for the distortions caused by the atmospheric turbulence, the main factor limiting the resolution of astronomical imaging. Adaptive secondary mirrors (ASMs) represent a new type of DMs; two of them have been recently installed on the 8-m-class large binocular telescope (LBT). ASMs are able to jointly correct rigid and nonrigid wave-front distortions thanks to the use of force actuators distributed on the overall mirror surface. As an offset, each actuator needs to be piloted by a dedicated controller, whose parameters must be accurately tuned to obtain the desired mirror shape. At the present time, the calibration of the controller parameters is executed manually. This paper presents a novel automatic controller tuning procedure that does not rely on the modeling of the mirror dynamics. The experimental validation on a prototype reproducing the three innermost rings of the LBT ASM is reported. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/26569 | URL: | https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/7050299 | ISSN: | 1063-6536 | DOI: | 10.1109/TCST.2015.2398822 | Fulltext: | open |
