Further First Decade AO systems and upgrades! Summary 2
3 AO Requirements at TMT Early Light! High throughput (85% in J, H, K, and I bands)! Low thermal emission (15% of sky + telescope)! Diffraction-limited near IR image quality [187, 191, 208] nm wavefront error over a [0,10,30] arc sec field! High sky coverage (50% at galactic pole)! High photometric accuracy 2% over 30 arc sec at λ=1 µm for a 10 minute observation! High astrometric accuracy 50 µas over 30 arc sec in H band for a 100 second observation! High observing efficiency! Available at first light with low risk at acceptable cost 3
4 Derived Architectural Decisions! Cooled (-30C) optical system for required emission! High order (60x60) wavefront compensation for required wavefront quality! Multi-conjugate AO (MCAO) with 6 guide stars and 2 deformable mirrors for required fields-of-view and astrometric/photometric accuracy! Laser guide star (LGS) AO for sky coverage! Tip/tilt and tip/tilt/focus NGS wavefront sensing in the near IR with a 2 arc min patrol field for sky coverage 4
5 TMT First Light AO: Laser Guide Star Facility (LGSF)! Sum-frequency Nd:YAG or frequency-doubled Raman fiber laser systems! Lasers mounted on telescope elevation journal! Conventional beam transfer optics (mirrors)! Center-launch beam projection 5
6 TMT First Light AO: Narrow Field IR AO System (NFIRAOS)! Mounted on Nasmyth Platform! Interfaces for 3 client instruments! Piezostack deformable mirrors and tip/tilt stage! Polar coordinate CCD array for the LGS WFS! HgCdTe CMOS arrays for low order, NGS, infrared WFSs (in client instruments) 6
7 TMT First Light AO: Real Time Control (RTC) System Features! Hard real time processes: WFS pixel processing (matched filtering) Atmospheric tomography! Split NGS/LGS formulation!

9 What s Happened Since 2009?! New NFIRAOS opto-mechanical design eliminates field distortion!

10 Field Distortion and NFIRAOS! 2009 NFIRAOS optical design was a off-axis parabola (OAP) relay Good image quality 0.4 arc sec distortion at edge of field! Distortion rotated with field at final science instrument focal plane Unacceptable for astrometry and multiobject spectroscopy! Several re-design options were considered: Output foci OAP DM at h=0 km on tip/ tilt platform OAP DM at h=11.2 km From telescope Image derotator at NFIRAOS input 4-mirror anastigmat optical design Dual optical relay with 4 OAPs additional surfaces; congested input focus large aspherics; difficult packaging additional surfaces; larger mass & volume Symmetric, refractive optical design chromatic aberrations; not seriously studied 10

13 LGSF Circa 2009! Laser System within telescope azimuth structure For large lasers requiring a fixed gravity vector, frequent alignment and maintenance!

14 LGSF Redesign Options Considered! Center launch, with lasers mounted in elevation structure No need to transfer beams from azimuth to elevation structure Reduced overall path length Feasible with new lighter, smaller, gravity-invariant laser systems! vs. Side-launch, with lasers mounted in M1 cell Modest (~20 nm RMS) performance advantage for equal LGS signal Simplified beam transport, at expense of multiple LLTs Tighter laser packaging; larger, rotating LGS elongation on WFSs! Various LLT simplifications also implemented, independent of above trades 0.4m diameter; no imaging of stars for alignment; new reflective and refractive design options!
