However, the finite distance of the LGS spot from the telescope makes LGS wavefront sensing not easily scalable from an 8m to an ELT. The use of a Shack-Hartmann (SH) sensor with a Field-of-View (FoV) of about 10-20 arcsec requires fast (1kHz) very large detectors (more than 1000x1000 pixel for M4 5600 actuator) currently unavailable. In the paper, we present numerical simulations to study the behavior of a Pyramid wavefront sensor (PWFS) working with laser generated reference star. As detailed below, such a sensor can be implemented with existing CCD220. Achieved results are encouraging for both 8m and ELT class telescopes. In the 8m case, we studied a 40x40 sub-aperture configuration controlling about 800 modes and we achieved the same behavior as a SH sensor. For the 40m telescope, we considered a PWFS with 80x80 sub-aperture and we computed noise propagation coefficients up to mode 3000, showing an overall noise propagation residual of 54nm with 600 photons per sub-aperture. The simulated PWFS requires a small CCD with 176x176 pixel. We also run an end-to-end simulation: a SR of 70% at H band was achieved with a correction of 2100 modes. These results provide a first evidence that the PWFS can be used in the LGS based AO systems currently in design phase for 8m or 40m telescopes. | Titolo del convegno: | Adaptive Optics Systems V | Luogo del convegno: | Edinburgh, UK | Periodo del convegno: | 26 June - 1 July, 2016 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/30200 | URL: | https://www.spiedigitallibrary.org/conference-proceedings-of-spie/9909/1/Pyramid-wavefront-sensing-using-Laser-Guide-Star-for-8m-and/10.1117/12.2234423.full | ISSN: | 0277-786X | ISBN: | 9781510601970 9781510601987 |
