Issue Date: | 2016 | Volume: | Adaptive Optics Systems V | Editors: | Marchetti, Enrico; Close, Laird M.; Véran, Jean-Pierre | Series: | PROCEEDINGS OF SPIE | Number: | 9909 | First Page: | 99093V | Abstract: | We present here SOUL: the Single conjugated adaptive Optics Upgrade for LBT. Soul will upgrade the wavefront sensors replacing the existing CCD detector with an EMCCD camera and the rest of the system in order to enable the closed loop operations at a faster cycle rate and with higher number of slopes. Thanks to reduced noise, higher number of pixel and framerate, we expect a gain (for a given SR) around 1.5-2 magnitudes at all wavelengths in the range 7.5 <mR <18. The correction at short wavelength will be greatly improved (SR>70% in I-band and 0.6asec seeing) and the sky coverage will be multiplied by a factor 5 at all galactic latitudes. Upgrading the SCAO systems at all the 4 focal stations, SOUL will provide these benefits in 2017 to the LBTI interferometer and in 2018 to the 2 LUCI NIR spectro-imagers. In the same year the SOUL correction will be exploited also by the new generation of LBT instruments: V-SHARK, SHARK-NIR and iLocater. | Conference Name: | Adaptive Optics Systems V | Conference Place: | Edinburgh, United Kingdom | Conference Date: | 26 June - 1 July, 2016 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/29579 | URL: | https://www.spiedigitallibrary.org/conference-proceedings-of-spie/9909/1/SOUL-the-Single-conjugated-adaptive-Optics-Upgrade-for-LBT/10.1117/12.2234444.short | ISSN: | 0277-786X | ISBN: | 9781510601970 9781510601987 |
