Abstract

We present the design and implementation of an adaptive optics test bench recently built at the School of Electrical Engineering of the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso in Chile. The flexible design of the PULPOS bench incorporates state-of-the-art, high-speed spatial light modulators for atmospheric turbulence emulation and wavefront correction, a deformable mirror for modulation, and a variety of wavefront sensors such as a pyramid wavefront sensor. PULPOS serves as a platform for research on adaptive optics and wavefront reconstruction using artificial intelligence techniques, as well as for educational purposes.
