“…At this time, only NSO and KIS work on the development of multiconjugate adaptive optics for solar observations. The development at NSO are covered by several publications by Langlois and coauthors [6][7][8]. We describe recent results of the work done by us at the VTT in Tenerife.…”

We present a breadboard multi-conjugate adaptive optics (MCAO) system for high angular resolution solar observations which we operate at the Vacuum Tower Telescope. We have developed methods to estimate quantitatively the performance of solar adaptive optics from science data. Several sets of short exposure images of the solar photosphere were analyzed to assess the performance of the MCAO. We demonstrate that a 30 arcsec field of view is substantially improved when the MCAO system is turned on. This compares favourably with an improvement of a 10 arcsec field with conventional solar adaptive optics. We also show how irradiance fluctuations in the MCAO compensated focus can be suppressed.

ABSTRACT. The Sun is an ideal object for the development and application of multiconjugate adaptive optics (MCAO). An effort to develop solar MCAO is pursued by the National Solar Observatory (NSO) Adaptive Optics Project. In developing solar MCAO, we bear in mind its possible implementation into the proposed 4 m Advanced Technology Solar Telescope (ATST). Two possible relay optical designs feeding an MCAO section and the coudé section of a 4 m off-axis solar telescope, such as the proposed ATST, are presented and discussed here.
