Wavefront sensing issues in MCAO
[Problématique de l'analyse de front d'onde en optique adaptative multiconjuguée]
Comptes Rendus. Physique, Volume 6 (2005) no. 10, pp. 1049-1058.

La problématique de la mesure de front d'onde pour l'Optique Adaptative Multiconjuguée (OAMC) est présentée dans cet article. Dans un premier temps, l'estimation de la couverture de ciel pour un systeme d'OAMC est étudiée. Cette estimation permet, entre autre, un choix entre étoiles naturelles et étoiles lasers. Ensuite, une comparaison des concepts de mesures de front d'onde dits « orienté étoiles » et « orienté couches » est effectuées. Des développements analytiques et une optimisation des deux concepts sont proposés dans le cas simplifié d'un systeme de correction de la couche au sol. Cette étude permet de mettre en évidence les avantages et les inconvénients de chaque concept.

The problematic of wavefront sensing in Multiconjugate Adaptive Optics (MCAO) is addressed in this article. We first focus on the sky coverage estimation which drives, in particular, the choice between natural and laser guide stars and therefore has a major impact on wavefront sensor design. Then a comparison between star oriented and layer oriented concepts is proposed. Analytical developments and optimization of the concepts are derived in the simplest MCAO case: the ground layer AO system. From this study, advantages and drawbacks of each concept are highlighted.
