Analytical modeling of adaptive optics: foundations of the phase spatial power spectrum approach.
TL;DR: This paper presents the foundations of a modeling method for the AO optical transfer function, based on an analytical description of the residual phase spatial power spectrum, in an IDL-based code, and comparison with end-to-end simulations demonstrates the validity of this approach.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Object-oriented Matlab adaptive optics toolbox
Rodolphe Conan,Carlos Correia +1 more
TL;DR: The OOMAO toolbox as mentioned in this paper is a Matlab toolbox dedicated to Adaptive Optics (AO) systems, which is based on a small set of classes representing the source, atmosphere, telescope, wavefront sensor, Deformable Mirror (DM) and an imager of an AO system.
Journal ArticleDOI
From the grating scale monitor to the generalized seeing monitor
TL;DR: A new version of this instrument, the generalized seeing monitor (GSM), consisting of four identical modules for measuring the angle-of-arrival (AA) fluctuations of a perturbed wave front, is described and a detailed analysis of its performance and accuracy is made.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented the conceptual design of the MAD module that will be installed at one of the VLT unit telescope in Paranal to perform on-sky observations, based on a two deformable mirrors correction system and on two multi-reference wavefront sensors capable to observe simultaneously some pre-selected configurations of Natural Guide Stars.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optical parameters relevant for High Angular Resolution at Paranal from GSM instrument and surface layer contribution
F. Martin,Rodolphe Conan,Andrei Tokovinin,Aziz Ziad,H. Trinquet,Julien Borgnino,A. Agabi,Marc Sarazin +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the main atmospheric parameters characterizing the turbulence were measured at the Paranal ESO Observatory (Chile) with the Generalized Seeing Monitor (GSM) during 19 nights in November{December 1998.
