Modal CNN reconstruction for an unmodulated pyramid wavefront sensor in SAXO+

The unmodulated pyramid wavefront sensor offers high sensitivity but requires accurate reconstruction of its nonlinear response. We present a convolutional neural network that directly estimates deformable-mirror modal coefficients from the four pyramid pupil images. Unlike image-to-grid approaches, the modal output ca...

SAXO+, the second-stage adaptive optics for SPHERE: a review of six selected control algorithms and the results achieved to date

SAXO+ is the second-stage adaptive optics (AO) system that will be added in cascade after SPHERE’s current extreme AO system at the VLT. This upgrade of SPHERE aims to improve coronagraphic contrast by a factor of 10 or more, close to the star, and to extend the performance to fainter, redder targets. To achieve these...
