A solar adaptive optics system for the 60 cm domeless solar telescope of the Hida Observatory in Japan is developed. A high-speed deformable mirror with 52 electromagnetic actuators is newly used in an experimental adaptive optics system. The use of the mirror resulted in the improvement of Strehl ratios in laboratory experiments. In solar observations, the system worked well when solar granulation was used as a target for wavefront sensing. An adaptive optics system being developed for a vertical spectrograph of the domeless solar telescope is described.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
