Adaptive Optics System

The CHARA array is an optical/near infrared interferometer consisting of six 1-meter diameter telescopes with the longest baseline of 331 m. With high angular resolution, the CHARA array provides a unique and powerful way of studying nearby stellar systems. In 2011, the CHARA array was funded by NSF-ATI for an upgrade of adaptive optics systems to all six telescopes to improve the sensitivity by several magnitudes. The initial grant covers Phase I of the adaptive optics system, which includes an on-telescope Wavefront Sensor and fast tip/tilt correction. We are currently seeking funding for Phase II which will add fast deformable mirrors at the telescopes to close the loop. This paper will describe the design of the project, and show simulations of how much improvement the array will gain after the upgrade.
