Abstract

We are developing an adaptive optics system for earth observing remote sensing sensor. In this system, high spatial resolution has to be achieved by a lightweight sensor system due to the launcher’s requirements. Moreover, simple hardware architecture has to be selected to achieve high reliability. Image based AOS realize these requirements without wavefront sensor. In remote sensing, it is difficult to use a reference point source unless the satellite controls its attitude toward a star or it has a reference point source in itself. We propose the control algorithm of the deformable mirror on the basis of the extended scene instead of the point source. In our AOS, a cost function is defined using acquired images on the basis of the contrast in spatial or Fourier domain. The cost function is optimized varying the input signal of each actuator of the deformable mirror. In our system, the deformable mirror has 140 actuators. We use basis functions to reduce the number of the input parameters to realize real-time control. We constructed the AOS for laboratory test, and proved that the modulated wavefront by DM almost consists with the ideal one by directly measured using a Shack- Hartmann wavefront sensor as a reference.
