Abstract

The 127-element adaptive optical system for the 1.8m astronomical telescope is being developed. In this system, the wavefront correction loop consists of a 127-element deformable mirror, a Hartmann-Shack (H-S) wavefront sensor, and a high-speed digital wavefront processor. The tracking system consists of a tip-tilt mirror, a tracking sensor and a tracking processor. The wavelength for the H-S wavefront sensor ranges from 400-700nm. The imaging observation wavelengths range from 700-1000nm and 1000-1700nm respectively. In this paper, the optical configuration of 1.8m telescope will be briefly introduced. The 127-element adaptive optical system is described in detailed. Furthermore, the preliminary performances and test results on the 127-element adaptive optical system is reported.
