Issue Date: | 2018 | Volume: | Adaptive Optics Systems VI | Editors: | Close, Laird M.; Schreiber, Laura; Schmidt, Dirk | Series: | PROCEEDINGS OF SPIE | Number: | 10703 | First Page: | 107030B | Abstract: | This paper reports on early commissioning of LINC-NIRVANA (LN), an innovative Multi-Conjugate Adaptive Optics (MCAO) system for the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT). LN uses two, parallel MCAO systems, each of which corrects turbulence at two atmospheric layers, to deliver near diffraction-limited imagery over a two-arcminute field of view. We summarize LN's approach to MCAO and give an update on commissioning, including the achievement of First Light in April 2018. This is followed by a discussion of challenges that arise from our particular type of MCAO and the solutions implemented. We conclude with a brief look forward to the remainder of commissioning and future upgrades. | Conference Name: | Adaptive Optics Systems VI | Conference Place: | Austin, Texas, United States | Conference Date: | 10-15 June, 2018 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/30144 | URL: | https://www.spiedigitallibrary.org/conference-proceedings-of-spie/10703/2313421/Commissioning-multi-conjugate-adaptive-optics-with-LINC-NIRVANA-on-LBT/10.1117/12.2313421.full | ISSN: | 0277-786X | ISBN: | 9781510619609 9781510619593 |
