GALACSI GRAAL Commonalities Same – DSM, 4LGS, Instrument control SW with 2 different Configurations Common developments for – SPARTA and large parts of the SW and functionalities() Cluster? – L3CCD cameras for high order WF and tip tilt sensing (40 by 40 sub apertures) Common requirements: – WFS co-rotation to pupil – Seeing enhancer mode GLAO – GLAO modes: Tip tilt star outside the scientific field free of obscuration of the science beam 20 Years

AO Types SCAO: – 1 Natural guide star, 1 WFS – WFS measures Turbulence – correction by the DM 4 GLAO: – 4 Laser guide stars, 4 WFSs – 1 Natural guide star, 1 TT Sens. – Average WFS signal High order DM command + tip tilt meas. LTAO: – 4 Laser guide stars, 4 WFSs (closer together) – 1 Natural guide star, 1 low order sensor – WFS signal + Tomography Algorithm high order DM command + tip tilt +focus meas. – correction by the DM
