Osservatorio di Arcetri LBT AO Conceptual Design Review Steward Observatory - March 5-7, 2001 Gap Sensors Advantages: Faster calibration procedure Air turbulence doesn’t affect the measurement Adaptive secondary built-in devices Disadvantages: 24 gap sensors vs. 336 actuators: unsensed high order modes. Force calibration needed

Osservatorio di Arcetri LBT AO Conceptual Design Review Steward Observatory - March 5-7, 2001 Conclusions Feed-forward matrix identification procedure is well established and fully working. High SNR and low (less 1%) propagation error coefficient just for high order modes. Calibration procedure for closed-loop operation has been already experimented on prototypes The calibration procedure will be tested for the MMT336 unit on the shimulator comparing gap-sensor and interferometer results
